    I don’t get it. Is 6km up Space?

    Also wdym “by himself”. Did you expect him to parachute with someone else?

      No. Just high enough that he could parachute down safely without the craft because they didn’t know how to get both down safely.

          No. It was a space flight. He, inside the Vostok 1, went into space. He orbited the Earth once. He re-entered the atmosphere. When he was only 6 km from the ground, he jumped out of the Vostok 1 and parachuted to the ground.
