Since the first human spaceflight by the Soviet Union, citizens of 40 countries have flown in space.
 For each nationality, the launch date of the first mission is listed.
 The list is based on the nationality of the person at the time of the launch.
 Only 3 of the 40 "first flyers" have been women (Helen Sharman for the United Kingdom in 1991, Anousheh Ansari for Iran in 2006, and Yi So-yeon for South Korea in 2008).
 Only three nations (Soviet Union/Russia, U.S., China) have launched their own manned spacecraft, with the Soviets/Russians and the American programs providing rides to other nations' astronauts.
 Twenty-six "first flights" occurred on Soviet or Russian flights while the United States carried thirteen.

Typhoon Helen was the most destructive tropical cyclone to strike Japan during the 1972 Pacific typhoon season.
 Originating from a tropical disturbance on September 11 near the Northern Mariana Islands, Helen gradually intensified as it moved northwestward.
 By September 14, it reached typhoon strength and soon turned northeast towards Japan.
 Accelerating due to a trough over the East China Sea, Helen rapidly approached the country and made landfall near Cape Kushimoto as a Category 3 equivalent typhoon on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale.
 Later that day, a weakened Helen emerged into the Sea of Japan.
 After merging with an upper-level low, the storm transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on September 19 and was last noted two days later after moving through southern Hokkaido.

Roberto Escobar (born in Buenos Aires, 1927) and Igón Lerchundi (born in Basque Country, 1934) were pioneers in the art of miming in Argentina and in Latin America.

 They later participated in the First International Pantomime Festival, which took place in Berlin in 1962, along with the most renowned mimes in the world (Marcel Marceau, Kabuki from Tokyo, etc.) Based on their success in this Festival they organized a long tour throughout Europe.
 At that time they had the opportunity to study in Paris with Etienne Decroux, the creator of 20th-century miming.
 Throughout their long careers they have obtained innumberable national and international awards.
 In 1973 they created the "Mimoteatro Escobar-Lerchundi" (Escobar-Lerchundi Mimetheatre), the only theatre dedicated to miming in America and one of the few in the world.
