To qualify the Space Shuttle, four test flights into space with two member crews, were launched to prove its spaceworthiness. After the final of these flight, which landed on July 4 - a date I'm sure what not a coincidence - President Ronald Reagan declared the Shuttle fully mission capable. Between 1983 and 1985, three more shuttles joined the fleet and the seventh mission of the shuttle era, STS-7, saw Sally Ride become the first American woman in space.
