Bobbie can't contain her laughter as she watches Scott's valiant struggle, and even he can't help but make light of the odd state of affairs. <br/>Location: Bolton, Manchester, England <br/>WooGlobe Ref : WGA197617<br/>For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com")

Only two astronauts were on the shuttle: the pilot, John Young, and the commander, Bob Crippen. Since this was the maiden voyage of the space shuttle, the only objective for this mission was to see if the shuttle could safely carry the crew to orbit and bring them back down to Earth. Some anomalies were reported, but Columbia and its crew came home safely. This was the first time NASA landed a spacecraft on wheels, and the success of that landing made the space shuttle Columbia the world's first reusable space vehicle.")
