Where was the first space rocket invinted?

The first rocket which could fly high enough to get into space was the V2 missile which was first launched by Germany in 1942. The first rocket which actually launched something into space was used to launch Sputnik, the first satellite, on October 4, 1957. The rocket that launched Sputnik was a R-7 ICBM rocket

Are you talking about the god Apollo, or the space mission that put man on the moon?

Space exploration is the physical exploration of outer space. The politics, science, and engineering behind space flight all fall under the auspices of space exploration. There are many rationales behind space exploration; among the most common are ones focusing on scientific research or the future survival of humanity. This endeavour has been to some degree a dream and goal of humanity for the past several centuries, but it was not until the development of large liquid-fueled rocket engines during the early 20th century that it really began to be seriously developed.\n\nThe first major milestone of this endeavour was the launch of the USSR's Sputnik 1 on October 5, 1957, the first man-made object to orbit the Earth. After this event, the USA declared itself to be in a space race with the Soviet Union. Major achievements of the first era of space exploration (which lasted until 1969) were putting the first man in space, (Yuri Gagarin aboard Vostok 1) on April 12, 1961 (again by the USSR), the first spacewalk (by Alexei Leonov, also a Soviet cosmonaut) in 1965, and the first Moon landing by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin aboard Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969 (by the USA). The next notable achivement in space was the launch of first space station, Salyut 1, from the USSR. After the first 20 years of exploration, focus began shifting from one-off flights to renewable hardware, such as the Space Shuttle, and from competition to cooperation as on the International Space Station. Recently, private interests have begun pushing space tourism, while larger government programs have been advocating a return to the Moon and possibly missions to Mars in the near future.

The Russians were the first to put a satellite into space (Sputnik 1).  The Americans were the second to put a satellite into space a year later in 1958 (Explorer 1).

No, the Soviet Union never succeeded in landing a person on the moon. Why? Well, they abandoned their moon program in 1969 when their N-1 rocket boosters that would get them there failed many successive launch tests; this discouraged them enough that they canceled the program altogether. And it didn't help when the first lunar landing by Apollo XI occurred in July of that very year.

The Soviet Luna program had launched Luna 1, the first spacecraft to fly past the moon on January 4, 1959. Its successor, Luna 2, was the first spacecraft to land on the moon, while Luna 3 took the first photos of the far side of the moon on October 7, 1959. Luna 9, launched by the USSR on February 3, 1966, performed the first "soft landing" on the moon; and Luna 10 became the first spacecraft to orbit the moon on April 3, 1966.\n\nThere have been no Russian cosmonauts on the surface.\n\nFollow the link for more information.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_landing

In 1898 the Russian Konstantin Tsiolkovsky proposed the idea of space exploration by rocket, he was the first one to suggest the use of liquid propellants for rockets in order to achieve greater range. He is the father of modern astronautics.  \n\nAfter him came Robert Goddard, he conducted practical experiments in rocketry and was the first one to build a successful liquid-propellant rocket in 1926.

It was Columbia. It was first launched into space 04/12/81 It was the First Flight (STS-1) of the space shuttle program, now on hiatus after the rentry destruction of Columbia.\n\nThere was an earlier test orbiter called Enterprise. It was the prototype and was used to many tests but never actually made it into orbit. This orbiter now resides at McDonnell Space Hangar at the new National Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles Airport in northern Virginia.
