Every human spaceflight from Gagarin to the present: 411 flights (385 orbital, 26 suborbital X-15 and commercial hops) rebuilt from Wikipedia's seven decade lists, whose rowspanned crew sub-rows merge into one row per flight. ISO launch and return dates, launch and return craft, full crew roster with crew size, habitation (ISS, Mir, Skylab...), and from each mission's own article the operator (mapped to a country), launch site, and precise mission duration in days, preferring the achieved figure when a disaster cut a mission short. The five fatal flights are flagged from their mission summaries.
411 rows in one CSV file, with 16 columns in total: Flight_Number, Type, Crew, Crew_Size, Launch_Date, Launch_Craft, Return_Date, Return_Craft, Duration_Days, Habitation, Operator, Country, Launch_Site, Fatal, Summary, Mission_URL.
