CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Commander Vance Brand and Pilot Robert 'Hoot' Gibson guide the space shuttle orbiter Challenger to the first-ever landing of a returning spaceship at Kennedy Space Center. The historic touchdown occurred at 7:15:55 a.m. EST Feb. 11, 1984 -- about five miles from Launch Pad 39A where the 41B mission began eight days earlier. Also aboard the tenth space shuttle flight were Mission Specialists Bruce McCandless II, Ronald McNair and Robert Stewart. Photo credit: NASA
