Quiz Answer: No. Yellowstone, designated in 1872, is the world's oldest national park. Correction: In last month's edition of the Places to Explore newsletter, we asked: "Who was the first human in space?" Our answer: "In 1961—four years after Sputnik 1 launched the global space race—Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to leave Earth's orbit, making a 108-minute flight aboard a Vostok 1 spacecraft." In fact the crew of Apollo 8 was the first to leave Earth's orbit.
