*Although NASA's goal is to get the cost down to $100.00 per pound, but it is not likely that this will happen anytime soon

*Scheduling also remains a problem,the current shuttle flee flies about 7 missions years compared to a goal of once per week .

• In 1958, Congress passed legislation establishing NASA as the body of the U.S space program.

*It began it's flight career with Columbia roaring off the Launch Pad 394 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 12,1981.

*Each space shuttle is named after influential ships of science and explorations.
