On Friday, April 27, <i>Enterprise</i>, the first NASA space shuttle, was transported atop a 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft from Dulles International Airport, near Washington, D.C., to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. <i>Enterprise</i> eventually will be displayed at New York's Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. Though <i>Enterprise</i> never flew in space, it was crucial to the Space Shuttle Program because its series of approach and landing tests in 1977 proved the orbiter could fly in the atmosphere and land like an airplane, except without power -- like a glider. Includes footage of <i>Enterprise</i> on the ground at Dulles and takeoff from Dulles.
