I believe only two U.S. astronauts, Wally Schirra and John Young, launched on three different vehicles. How long before another astronaut joins this group? |

With the first crewed flight of the Boeing CST-100 we will welcome the next astronaut who flew missions onboard three different spacecraft. Mike Fincke flew two missions to the ISS onboard Soyuz spacecraft and one mission to the ISS onboard the space shuttle.But what will happen, when the Crew Dragon will make the commercial flight before the crewed test flight of CST-100? Then we will see another astronaut, who will become the next person to enter orbit in three different spacecraft. This person could be JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi. He already flew one mission aboard the Space Shuttle and one mission onboard the Soyuz capsule. The destination on both flights was the ISS, too. |

John Young was actually "launched" four times — if one includes the liftoff from the moon in the Lunar Module. |

Assuming liftoff from Moon using LM, then Armstrong, Aldrin, Conrad, Shepard, Scott and Cernan launched on three vehicles.Assuming S IV-B is a different rocket than Saturn V, then you could add Bean (including LM) and Stafford launched on three vehicles. |

I think the active Russian cosmonauts who have launched have only flown on Soyuz spacecraft. |

"Launched" may also mean a "launch vehicle". Then we can also add Stafford and Conrad: both on Titan, Saturn V and Saturn IB. |
