This is coverage of the launch of Space Shuttle Columbia on mission STS-28. Coverage provided by Dan Rather and Bruce Hall. Recorded on date of launch: August 8, 1989. Mission objectives: Department of Defense payload. First flight of Columbia since Challenger Accident.
This was the first shuttle launch George Diller did the commentary for. Although the air to ground loop was meant to be blacked out because it was a classified DOD flight, you can faintly hear it here!
