Titov's flight finally proved that humans could live and work in space. He was the first person to orbit the Earth multiple times (a total of 17orbits) and to spend more than a day in space. He was also the first to sleep in orbit and to suffer from [[space sickness]] (becoming the first person to vomit in space).''Guinness World Records 2013'', Page 027. {{ISBN|9781904994879}}
