The Space Shuttle Spirit is not an actual space shuttle; it seems you may be referring to the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit. Spirit was built by NASA and was launched on June 10, 2003. It operated on Mars from January 4, 2004, until it became stuck in soft soil in 2009 and ultimately ceased communication in 2010. If you meant a different shuttle or spacecraft, please clarify!

The first space shuttle was built primarily in Palmdale, California at Rockwell's facility.
The first space shuttle ever built was the Space Shuttle Enterprise. It was constructed as a prototype and test vehicle and never flew into space. Enterprise was used for approach and landing tests before the operational shuttle flights began with Columbia.
The Columbia space shuttle was built in the 1970s and was the first operational space shuttle in NASA's fleet. It made its maiden flight on April 12, 1981.

The Space Shuttle Program was Commissioned by NASA and built by the joint effoerts of United Space Alliance, Thiokol/ Alliant Techsystems, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing Rockwell. The Space Shuttle program has nothing to do with religion and spirituality.
Enterprise was the first space shuttle orbiter built but it was used only for flight tests and was not capable of going into space. Columbia was the first orbiter built which was space worthy and launched on STS-1
