00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:20.679
McCool, Michael P. Anderson,
Elon Ramone, Calpanachala, David M.

00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.519
Brown, and Laurel B. Clark. On this date in two thousand and

5
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:29.160
three, the Columbia took off on
its final mission. Question one, What

6
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.159
was the name of the first space
shuttle which was a prototype and never went

7
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:40.359
to space? Question two? From
which NASA Space Center did all of the

8
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:48.079
space shuttle missions launch? Question three? Which space shuttle was the first to

9
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:56.719
orbit the Earth and when did its
maiden flight occur? Question four? How

10
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:03.599
many space shuttles were built for spaceflight
by NASA? Question five? Can you

11
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:08.079
name all the space shuttles that were
part of NASA's space shuttle program. I'll

12
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.519
give you a minute to think about
those, and I'll be back with the

13
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:23.280
answers. Welcome back. Let's uncover
the answers to our space exploration trivia.

14
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.319
Question one, what was the name
of the first space shuttle which was a

15
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:36.719
prototype and never went to space?
Answer the Enterprise. Fun fact the Enterprise

16
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:41.239
was critical in testing the aerodynamics and
landing capabilities of the space shuttle design.

17
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:47.599
Question from which NASA Space center did
all of the space shuttle missions launch?

18
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:55.120
Answer the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Fun fact. The Kennedy Space Center

19
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:59.640
has been the launch site for every
American human spaceflight since nineteen sixty eight.

20
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:05.599
Question three, which space shuttle was
the first to orbit the Earth and when

21
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:12.400
did its made in flight occur?
Answer the Colombia in nineteen eighty one.

22
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.000
Fun fact. Columbia's first mission marked
a new era in reusable spacecraft, changing

23
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:22.520
space exploration forever. Question four,
how many space shuttles were built for spaceflight

24
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:28.080
by NASA? Answer six. I
would tell you the fun fact, but

25
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.039
it would give away the answer to
the next question. Question five, Can

26
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:35.439
you name all the space shuttles that
were part of NASA's space shuttle program?

27
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:39.759
Answer Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger,
Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavor. Fun

28
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.360
fact. Each shuttle was designed for
a projected life span of one hundred missions

29
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.960
or ten years of operational life as
the program ended. Early Discovery flew the

30
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.879
most missions, with thirty nine.
