Yuri Gagarin’s flight was entirely automated. He went a bit higher and made a full orbit, but I’m pretty sure everyone agrees he’s an astronaut.
Sure, but he was the very first person to ever fly in space so that definitely counts for something. Additionally, he could control the spacecraft if there was an emergency.
He was a cosmonaut, so jot that down.
… the best kind of correct…
And he was trained to do so.
