OTD…June 21 and STS-57

#OTD in 1983…Challenger lifts off on the first nighttime shuttle launch…and Discovery launches on her inaugural Spaceflight

NASA’s first space station — the Skylab orbital workshop — was launched atop a Saturn 5 rocket today, May 14, in 1973.

Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins launched today in 1969 aboard Apollo 11 for one of the defining moments of the 20th century — man’s first landing on the moon.
