U.S Sen. Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat, flew aboard Columbia in 1986, when he was a congressman.
April 1981
The first space shuttle, Columbia, was launched on April 12, 1981.
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.
Only one space shuttle exploded during takeoff. That shuttle was the Challenger, which exploded on January 28, 1986. The only other space shuttle to be destroyed was the Columbia, which disintegrated on reentry on February 1, 2003.
Two space shuttles exploded; one upon take off and one on re-entry. The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in 1986, 1 minute 13 seconds after take-off killing all seven members on board. The Space Shuttle Columbia exploded on re-entry in 2003 also killing all seven members on board.
