Many did not survive.Ham (named for Hollman Aero Medicine), was not the first successful flight, but is considered to be the flight that paved the way for Alan Shepard.

He spent a total of 36 minutes floating outside the spacecraft. Whites space suit did not carry its own oxygen supply. Instead, White was connected by a hose

While outside the spacecraft, White was able to move himself around using a handheld air-pressure gun. 24Sep 25th , 2008Chineses First SpacewalkerZhai Zhigang25Apollo 1 FireJanuary 27, 1967.

Three different crews worked in Skylab, one crew in orbit for about three months, the last crew actually going on “strike”, and pulling a work stoppage due to the work load handed them by NASA.

The United States sent its first space station, the larger Skylab, into orbit in 1973 and it hosted three crews before it was abandoned in 1974. Russia continued to focus on long-duration space missions and in 1986 launched the first modules of the Mir space station.In 1998, the first two modules of the International Space Station were launched and joined together in orbit.
