On April 12, 1981, the space shuttle Columbia lifted into orbit to become the first reusable orbital spacecraft, fulfilling the dreams and ambitions of scientists worldwide, and the visions of science-fiction fans. In the years since and until the space shuttle fleet program was retired in 2011, NASA sent the sleek black-and-white spacecraft into the sky. The space shuttle did everything from launching satellites, making corrections on the Hubble telescope, to conducting experiments in zero gravity. Now pay tribute to the very first shuttle launch by adding this coin to your collection! Will ship in box with COA. Mintage of 1981 worldwide!!
