The first flight was STS-1 by the shuttle Columbia, April 12-14, 1981. It was commanded by John Young (Gemini astronaut in 1965 and 9th man on the moon in 1972) and flown by pilot Robert Crippen, on his first trip into space. (Arguably, they were the most different duo ever to launch into space.)

the most famous space shuttle
The most famous female astronaut is Sally Ride. Unfortunately, she was on the Challenger shuttle that exploded, killing all aboard, in 1983.
The Canadarm (technically called the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System) is used to lift and manipulate satellites, parts, and other equipment from the payload bay of the shuttles to their correct position. It is also sometimes used to move an astronaut to another part of the outside of the space station or shuttle.

The Space Shuttle was the first US spacecraft built to accommodate more than 3 astronauts. After the retirement of the Space Shuttle, most cargo is carried to the ISS by unmanned rockets.
