STS-1 Launch

From the creator

Space shuttle Columbia launched April 12, 1981, for the first time on a test flight that would kick off a 30-year career for the nation's orbiter fleet. The flight was commanded by astronaut John Young, a veteran who walked on the moon as commander of Apollo 16. Astronaut Robert Crippen served as the Pilot on STS-1, the first of four space shuttle missions he would fly.
