Question: The population of the country that worked with the outfit behind Man in Space Soonest numbers how much?

<P0-S0> Between 1948 and 1958, the Jewish population rose from 800,000 to two million. <P0-S1> Currently, Jews account for 75.4% of the Israeli population, or 6 million people. <P0-S2> The early years of the State of Israel were marked by the mass immigration of Holocaust survivors in the aftermath of the Holocaust and Jews fleeing Arab lands. <P0-S3> Israel also has a large population of Ethiopian Jews, many of whom were airlifted to Israel in the late 1980s and early 1990s. <P0-S4> Between 1974 and 1979 nearly 227,258 immigrants arrived in Israel, about half being from the Soviet Union. <P0-S5> This period also saw an increase in immigration to Israel from Western Europe, Latin America, and North America. <SEP> <P1-S0> Israel, and The US Air Force, in conjunction with the members of NATO, has developed significant tactics for air defence suppression. <P1-S1> Dedicated weapons such as anti-radiation missiles and advanced electronics intelligence and electronic countermeasures platforms seek to suppress or negate the effectiveness of an opposing air-defence system. <P1-S2> It is an arms race; as better jamming, countermeasures and anti-radiation weapons are developed, so are better SAM systems with ECCM capabilities and the ability to shoot down anti-radiation missiles and other munitions aimed at them or the targets they are defending. <SEP> <P2-S0> in the 1970s, the united states began developing a new generation of reusable orbital spacecraft known as the space shuttle, and launched a range of unmanned probes. <P2-S1> the ussr continued to develop space station technology with the salyut program and mir ('peace' or 'world', depending on the context) space station, supported by soyuz spacecraft. <P2-S2> they developed their own large space shuttle under the buran program. <P2-S3> however, the ussr dissolved in 1991 and the remains of its space program were distributed to various eastern european countries. <P2-S4> the united states and russia would work together in space with the shuttle–mir program, and again with the international space station. <SEP> <P3-S0> unfpa is the world's largest multilateral source of funding for population and reproductive health programs. <P3-S1> the fund works with governments and non-governmental organizations in over 150 countries with the support of the international community, supporting programs that help women, men and young people: <SEP> <P4-S0> The US Air Force had been developing a program to launch the first man in space, named Man in Space Soonest. <P4-S1> This program studied several different types of one-man space vehicles, settling on a ballistic re-entry capsule launched on a derivative Atlas missile, and selecting a group of nine candidate pilots. <P4-S2> After NASA's creation, the program was transferred over to the civilian agency and renamed Project Mercury on November 26, 1958. <P4-S3> NASA selected a new group of astronaut (from the Greek for "star sailor") candidates from Navy, Air Force and Marine test pilots, and narrowed this down to a group of seven for the program. <P4-S4> Capsule design and astronaut training began immediately, working toward preliminary suborbital flights on the Redstone missile, followed by orbital flights on the Atlas. <P4-S5> Each flight series would first start unmanned, then carry a primate, then finally men.
