@shuttlesource: Columbia is home, first shuttle landing #nasa #spaceshuttle #80sbaby

Captain Pugwash :

real shame they stopped using the shuttle.

Charlie :

It never had a "last landing." 😢

Cristi :

When sent into space, it didn't have a tail or wings, did it grow in the air?

Kryten9000 :

It’s interesting seeing how the landing procedures changed over time, how they’d later add a drag Shute in the 90s and grooved tarmac on the landing runway

the.mushroom.king :

I read this was like laying in your bathtub, gripping the tap, and trying to fly your house

Ey Langer :

I was 13 and saw it live on TV back then!🤩👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻

The machine Doctor :

Really sad that they don’t use them anymore. Look how small the jet is against the shuttle.

Wooddog :

Almost like it was released off of the top of a 747??

harriet🧱🚵‍♂️ :

welcome home skipper

Barry Messenger :

John Young and Bob Crippen making it look so easy.

No parachute and the jet at the side keeping up with it something not right

RandyfromFL :

This was the only space shuttle that used a white main fuel tank. All subsequent flights used an orange tank.
