The shuttle's unique design allowed for controlled reentry and landing like an airplane.
The first space shuttle mission was the flight of Space Shuttle Columbia. It launched on 12 April 1981 and returned safely two days later. The two-man crew comprised commander John W. Young and pilot Robert Crippen.
In April of 1981, US astronauts Crippen and Young returned to earth in the space shuttle Columbia which used wings to get them home, but the Columbia and all other space shuttles were launched with rocket power. A winged orbital spacecraft to take off and land by itself was canceled because it was too expensive, but it may someday happen.
