A rocket took off
There were no men in it
One of my fishin' buddies was the naval helicopter pilot that picked up this crew from their capsule when they splashed down. Would you like to discuss your assertion with him? He may be an old man these days, but I'd think twice before getting him riled with such trolling.

the first time humans left earth orbit
And the last time humans left earth orbit was during Apollo 17 in December, 1972. That was 52 years ago.
