General Chuck Yeager has flown to space in the F-104 in the early 1960's - 118,000 feet. However due to the deal between the US and Russia, for national security for sovereign nations, space arbitrarily defined as 50 miles from the earth and each nation owned the airspace above it up to 50 miles.
General Chuck Yeager is still considered the most famous test pilot in the world. Some very crucial safety procedures we have in place today were created by General Chuck Yeager.

Chuck Yeager, on April 9, 1945.
He was the first man to go faster than the speed of sound.
A Chuck Yeager has Jagermeister in it, so first go out and buy a bottle of that (get it? Yeager... Jager...I think this whole drink was invented just to be a play on words). Next, mix with pineapple juice. Keep adding pineapple juice until you can't taste the awfulness of the Jager.
Chuck Yeager famously became the first person to break the sound barrier on October 14, 1947. He achieved a speed of approximately 1,070 miles per hour (1,730 kilometers per hour), which is roughly Mach 1.06. This breakthrough was accomplished while flying the Bell X-1 experimental aircraft named "Glamorous Glennis."
No. But He Was The First Person To Fly Faster Than The Speed Of Sound.ANSWER: He was a test pilot so respected and revered within the air force, the younger recruits felt there was no hope of ever getting the same opportunity to shine, and many opted for the astronaut program as a short-cut to Chuck Yeager like fame.
