Columbia Launches
Rocket engines blazing, the Space Shuttle Columbia arcs into Florida's morning sky after lifting off from pad 39-A at Kennedy Space Center. Seen here in January 1996, this space shuttle had been operational for over 15 years, racking up 20 flights and over 77 million miles in orbit. Columbia was the first member of NASA's shuttle fleet.
