It wasn't invented overnight. It took many years to come up with a design that worked. Research began even before we landed on the moon in 1969. The shuttle program was formally launched in 1972 and Columbia (designated OV-102), was delivered to Kennedy Space Center in 1979 with the first launch in 1981
