Melania Trump called her husband intensely loyal to family during a widely watched speech Monday night at the Republican National Convention. But she isn't his first wife. Of Donald Trump's three marriages, his longest marriage was to Ivana Trump, the mother of his three oldest children. Their daughter, Ivanka Trump, was scheduled to introduce her father Thursday night before he gave his formal presidential nomination acceptance speech.
Space Shuttle Columbia (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-102) was the first space-rated Space Shuttle in NASA's orbiter fleet.olumbia returned to space on January 12, 1986, with the launch of STS-61-C. The mission's crew included Dr. Franklin Chang-Diaz, as well as the first sitting member of the House of Representatives to venture into space, Bill Nelson. The next shuttle mission, STS-51-L, was undertaken by Challenger.
1. The Shuttle killed more people than any other space vehicle in history. The explosion of the Challenger killed seven people, six astronauts and one Teacher in Space participant, during the launch of its 10 th mission in 1986. The explosion of the Columbia killed seven more during re-entry of its 28 th mission in 2003. Let me spell it out for you: out of five ShuttlesâColumbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavorâtwo met a disastrous and fiery fate. Thatâs a 40% vehicular failure rate (updated) and a flight failure rate of 1.5%.
