April 1981
The first space shuttle, Columbia, took off on April 12, 1981. It was the inaugural mission of NASA's Space Shuttle program, known as STS-1.
There have been two space shuttles that exploded during launch: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003.
Two space shuttles exploded; one upon take off and one on re-entry. The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in 1986, 1 minute 13 seconds after take-off killing all seven members on board. The Space Shuttle Columbia exploded on re-entry in 2003 also killing all seven members on board.
A rocket ship takes off by igniting its rocket engines, which produce thrust that propels the ship upward. The force generated by the rocket engines pushes the ship off the ground and into the air, overcoming Earth's gravity. As the rocket ascends, its engines continue to provide thrust to propel it further into space.

The Columbia supercomputer helped NASA guide the space shuttle. This supercomputer was named after the Columbia crew lost in an explosion in 2003 at lift off.
