 A person who has traveled in space (altitude of at least 80 - 100 km) is called an astronaut, cosmonaut (Russian), taikonaut (Chinese), or afronaut (Africans).
The titles derive from the Greek “astro” (star), “kosmos” (universe) and “nautes” (sailor).
The pioneering astronauts were recruited from the ranks of military test pilots.
