If you consider Enterprise to count as one of the space shuttles, then the first flight was in 1977. If you only count the flights that launched into space, then Columbia was the first flight and occurred in 1981.
1964
It was in the 1960's at the plain was the X-15.
The USSR or Russia. They had the first satellite, the first animal in space, the first manned space flight, and the first space walk. But we beat them to the moon.
Depending if you mean any air flight of flight to space. First Space Shuttle was Columbia First Successful flight was over the English Channel.
The first space flight was in 1981, Columbia was the first to make a space flight. The shuttle was a masterpiece of engineering. After being launched into space it could be flown like a plane.
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.
i really honestly do not know this question because I am still looking for it! lol (:
The first winged flight into outer space and back was conducted by the Space Shuttle Columbia during the STS-1 mission, which launched on April 12, 1981. This mission marked the inaugural flight of NASA's Space Shuttle program, successfully demonstrating the shuttle's capability to reach low Earth orbit and return safely to Earth. The shuttle's unique design allowed for controlled reentry and landing like an airplane.
