SPACE SHUTTLE UNVEILED ON THIS DAY

This Day in History: NASA unveils Space Shuttle Enterprise

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.

HISTORY WAS MADE ON THIS DAY IN 1620


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.
