Description
The first space shuttle was launched in 1981. Conventional one-use rockets had been the only way to send astronauts or cargoes into space. The United States developed a re-usable system called the Space Transportation System, or Shuttle for short. It was launched like a conventional rocket but returns to Earth like a plane.
This shuttle is made from lead-free pewter and is supplied on a quality key-chain.
