damn man i wish she was still with us...but we learned so much about space and the program itself through her and the other 5 vessels..i just cant wait till we start this up again...we should definately learn as much as we can about the final frontier!!!

John Young is a legend. Gemini, Apollo (went to the Moon twice), and then to cap it all flew the very first STS. What does STS stand for anyway? Anyone know?

In the 80's Shuttle seemed like Shuttle was right out of a Scifi show and looked great on TV. I only wished it lived up to its promise of low cost. It was promised to be be 50 million p/flight and we would have 50 launches per year. It ended up costing 1.6 Billion per flight over 32 times more that promised. Shame on US citizens for letting it continue after the 5th flight. Some people even called Shuttle a welfare program. Privatization of Space vehicles will help costs in the future.

Is is unbelivable: 1981 I watched the first flight of the space shuttle. It was in april 1981 when I was a young boy of 10 years. And I witnessed the end of the space shuttle era 30 years later as a mature fart of 40. Good bye space shuttle :-) But where is the new american manned space vehicle?

Beautiful.... And now, no more Space Shuttle, no more Concorde.. just reality TV and war. What dull times we're living in

Couldn't help but notice the stunning differences in camera resolution and image quality since this first shuttle launch in '81. Launch imagery, especially since Challenger's last flight, is absolutely fantastic.
