Is discovery space shuttle is the first space shuttle in space?

(The following is from information on the nasa.gov website: [-Doctor Dan]) The Enterprise was the first shuttle, but was used for testing of various types to prove out the theories for the rest of the shuttle fleet later. It rolled out Sept. 17, 1976 and given to Smithsonian for display in 1985. Following the Enterprise, the orbiter Columbia was created and it became the first Space Shuttle to fly into Earth orbit in 1981. Four sister ships joined the fleet over the next 10 years: Challenger arrived in 1982 but destroyed four years later. Discovery, 1983. Atlantis, 1985. and Endeavour, built as a replacement for Challenger in 1991. The first man in space was not Alan Sheppard as many think, but Yuri Gagarin of the USSR. The Soviets built five shuttles also, but only one of them achieved orbit and reentry. The program was shut down and the shuttles moth-balled upon the collapse of the Soviet Union. One was destroyed in the collapse the hanger in which it was stored. The other four were "donated" to museums in different countries.
