The Shuttle Columbia disaster occurred on February 1, 2003 when it
disintegrated over Texas and Louisiana killing all seven crew members. A
new era in space flight began on April 12, 1981, when Space Shuttle
Columbia, or STS-1, soared into orbit from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in
Florida. Astronaut John Young, a veteran of four previous spaceflights
including a walk on the moon in 1972, commanded the mission. Navy test
pilot Bob Crippen piloted the mission and would go on to command three
future shuttle missions. The shuttle was humankind's first re-usable
spacecraft. The orbiter would launch like a rocket and land like a plane.
The two solid rocket boosters that helped push them into space would also
be re-used, after being recovered in the ocean. Only the massive external
fuel tank would burn up as it fell back to Earth. It was all known as the
Space Transportation System.
