MISSION PASSES WITH FLYING COLORS
Columbia landing perfect

From AP and UPI
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. - Space shuttle Columbia
brilliantly, gracefully, passed her first
trial by spaceflight yesterday, sailing
hypersonic through the heat of the
re-entry to a perfect wheels-down lan-
ding on a sunbaked desert runway.
The moment of triumph, 1:22 p.m.
EST, belonged to astronauts John
Young and Robert Crippen, who
inaugurated a revolutionary space
transportation system with a mission
lasting two days, 6/2 hours.
COLUMBIA, TWO years delayed, a
$10-billion question mark, a white and
black ship with the American flag on its
left side, landed precisely as scheduled.
"You can't believe what a flying
machine this is," Young exulted. "It's
really something special." As he left
the shuttle, he looked over the ship's
lifesaver thermal tiles, and punched the
air with gusto.
Young and Crippen made history.
They were the first ever to return from
space without having to spashdown in
water, American-style, or bounce on

the ground, as the Russians do it.
AFTER LANDING, the astronauts
fidgeted in their cockpit for an hour
while ground crews made sure no
dangerous gases lingered.
Then both Young and Crippen moved
down the steps of the portable ramp
with a bounce in their steps and broad
smiles on their faces. Young im-
pulsively circled the front of the ship on
a personal inspection tour. He liked
what he saw, jabbed the air in delight,
and flashed a thumbs up to recovery
crew.

The "astrovan" took the astronauts
to a nearby space agency facility for
physical examination, although from
appearances they were the healthiest,
as well as the happiest, of men. For the
next week, the astronauts will undergo
extensive debriefings as experts
evaluate the ship's maiden flight.
With the first mission a success,
flight control chief M.P. Frank announ-
ced Columbia's next flight, scheduled
for September, will be flown by
astronauts Joe Engle, 48, and Richard
Truly, 43, former Air Force test pilots.
