In 1981, the United States launched the Space Shuttle Columbia, the first reusable manned spacecraft. It was piloted by Robert Crippen and commanded by John Young. In June of 1983, Sally Ride became the first American woman in space when she rode aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger. In August of that same year, Guion Bluford became the first black American to enter space. During a Challenger mission in 1984, Kathryn Sullivan became the first American woman to walk in space while in 1986, the Space Shuttle Columbia carried the first Hispanic American, Franklin Chang-Diaz, into orbit. Unfortunately, the United States' space program suffered another tragedy in 1986. January 28th was the launch date of the twenty-fifth shuttle mission. Seventy-three seconds after launch, Challenger exploded. All seven astronauts, including the first teacher in space, Christa McAuliffe, were killed. The Space Shuttle Endeavour carried a very unique crew into orbit in 1992. The crew not only included Mae Jemison, the first African American woman to orbit in space, but it also included the first married couple to orbit together, Mark Lee and Jan Davis, along with the first Japanese astronaut, Mamoru Mohri.
