There were no further manned flights until September 1988. On 1 February 2003 the space shuttle Columbia exploded as it was attempting re-entry after a 16-day mission. All seven astronauts on board, including the first Israeli in space, were killed. Tributes to the astronauts were led by US President George W Bush.
Columbia's first flight took place on April 12, 1981. The shuttle program was officially referred to as the Space Transportation System (STS), so this flight was STS-1. The mission had a two-person crew: the commander, John Young, a veteran of Gemini and Apollo, and the pilot, Bob Crippen. The objective was to make sure that Columbia worked well in space.
