On September 17, 1976, NASA publicly unveiled its first space
shuttle, the Enterprise, during a ceremony in Palmdale, California.

Development of the aircraft-like spacecraft cost almost $10 billion
and took nearly a decade. In 1977, the Enterprise became the first
space shuttle to fly freely when it was lifted to a height of 25,000
feet by a Boeing 747 airplane and then released, gliding back to
Edwards Air Force Base on its own accord.

The Constitution of the United States of America was signed
by 39 delegates present at the conclusion of the Constitutional
Convention in Philadelphia. Supporters of the document waged
a hard-won battle to win ratification by the necessary nine out
of 13 U.S. states.

The Oreo sandwich cookie was introduced by Nabisco on March
6, 1912, and through a series of corporate acquisitions, mergers,
and splits, both Nabisco and the Oreo brand have been owned by Mondelez International since 2012. Oreo cookies are available in
over one hundred countries. Many varieties of Oreo cookies have
been produced, and limited-edition runs have become popular in
the 21st century.

On September 16, 1620, the Mayflower sailed from Plymouth,
England, bound for the Americas with 102 passengers. The
ship was headed for Virginia, where the colonists—half
religious dissenters and half entrepreneurs—had been
authorized to settle by the British crown.

However, stormy weather and navigational errors forced the
Mayflower off course, and on November 21 the “Pilgrims”
reached Massachusetts, where they founded the first
permanent European settlement in New England in late
December.
