Ever since Neil Armstrong first set foot on the Moon back on 21st July, 1969, people _____________ (become) accustomed ________ the idea of space travel. Millions of people watched that first moon __________ (land) on television, their hearts in their mouths, aware of how difficult and dangerous _________ adventure it was, and what _________ ( risk) had to be taken. With Armstrong’s now famous words: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”,a dream was achieved. All three astronauts made ________ safely back to Earth, using a spaceship computer that was much ________ (little) powerful than the ______ (one) used by the average school students today. There were several more journeys into space over the next few years but the single spaceships were very expensive _________ they could not take off more than once. People were no longer so enthusiastic about a space travel programme that was costing the United Slates $10 million a day. That was until the _________ (arrive) of the space shuttle-a spacecraft that could be used for several journeys. The first shuttle flight into space was the Columbia-_________ (launch) from the Kennedy Space Centre on 12th April, 1981. The aim of this flight was to test the new shuttle system, to go safely up into orbit and _________ (return) to the Earth for a safe landing. It was ______ success and a little more than a decade after Apollo 11’s __________ (history) voyage, the Columbia made a safe, controlled, aeroplane-style landing in California. This was the start of a new age of space travel.
By the time the Challenger took off in 1986, the world seemed to have lost their fear and wonder at the amazed achievement of people going up into space. But this was going to be a special flight and so millions of people tuned in to witness the take-off on TV. A ordinary teacher, Christa McAuliffe, 37, who was married to two children, was to be the first civilian in space. She was going to give two fifteen-minute lesson from space. The first was to show the controls of the spacecraft and explained how gravity worked. The second was to describe the aims of the Challenger space programme. Christa hoped to communicate a sense of excitement and create newly interest in the space programme.
Sadly, she never returned back to her classroom again, with the shuttle exploded just over a minute after taking off in Florida and all seven astronauts killed.

We’ve never had a tragedy like this. And perhaps we’ve forgotten the courage it took for the crew of the shuttle. But they, the challenger seven, were aware of the dangers, but overcame them and did their jobs brilliantly. The future belongs to the brave. The challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and we’ll continue to follow them .
