The Space Task Group is established in the Late 1960's by Richard Nixon in order to brainstorm the future of America's space exploration.

The Space Shuttle Program was officially started on January 2, 1972 under President Nixon.

After countless problems were discovered and rectified, the first official Shuttle launch took place on April 12, 1981.
