The Space Shuttle Enterprise has been called “one of NASA’s most elaborate and expensive playthings”—yet the Space Shuttle Program would never have taken off without it.
These "firsts" in space travel did alot to promote pride and patriotism in our country. It will be interesting to see if the private/public relationship with space travel will do the same as they embark on a new golden age of space travel.
Very interesting Tara. Thank you. I visited the NASA facilities at Cape Canaveral in 1995 and was able to see how the space program operated including the earliest days and the space shuttle was there. Everything we did in full scale!
Amazing what we accomplished and now, it's a private/public endeavor. I think that the Enterprise was a great name for the first shuttle.
