STS-1

For your listening pleasure, here is a recording straight off the radio, of the launch of the very first Space Shuttle that was numbered STS-1. NASA are just about to launch the final Shuttle in to orbit, numbered STS-135, on July 8th, so I thought this would be a good way to remember how far they’ve come since 1981.
