The Space Shuttles were not created, they were constructed. North American Rockwell was awarded the contract to build the first orbital Space Shuttle, Colombia, on July 26, 1972. Construction began on March 25, 1975 at the Rockwell's Palmdale, Califorinia plant. Colombia rolled out of Rockwell's plant on March 8, 1979 and was taken to Edwards Air Force Base to be mounted on the back of a 747 for transport to Kennedy Space Center. Columbia arrived at KSC on March 25, 1979. After delays with the booster and tiles, Colombia finally lifted off into space on April 12, 1981.
Columbia flew a total of 28 missions in space, the last one resulted in disaster as Columbia broke up over Texas during reentry on February 1, 2003. It never made it back to KSC. The vehicle was destroyed and the crew of 7 perished following breakup of the orbiter.
