	Space Shuttle Columbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first flight of Columbia (STS-1) was commanded by John Young (a space veteran from the Gemini and Apollo eras) and piloted by Robert Crippen, a rookie who had never been in space before, but who served as a support crew member for the Skylab missions and Apollo-Soyuz.
		In an episode of Cowboy Bebop, the space shuttle Columbia was used to rescue a character from a disabled space vehicle in a decaying orbit around Earth.
		Its appearance is anachronistic, given that the show takes place in the far future, but the episode was made before the Columbia's disintegration.
