Michael JohnstonSTS-1 was the first orbital flight of NASA's Space Shuttle, launched on 12 April 1981, and returning to Earth 14 April. Space Shuttle Columbia orbited the Earth 37 times in this 54.5-hour mission. It was the first American manned space flight since the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project on 15 July 1975. STS-1 was the only US manned maiden test flight of a new spacecraft system, although it was the culmination of atmospheric testing of the Space Shuttle orbiter.

Recently it started squealing when cold, but it went away after warming up.
After some investigation, it was discovered that the tensioner was the problem. It was an OEM tensioner from the dealer, and thus was replaced under warranty.
Hopefully this helps someone else!Lecture 15: Space Shuttle Accidents (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 5: Orbiter Structure + Thermal Protection System (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 9: OMS, RCS, Fuel Cells, Auxiliary Power Unit and Hydraulic Systems (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 4: The Decision to Build the Shuttle (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 20: EVA and Robotics on the Shuttle (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 1: The Origins of the Space Shuttle (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 11: Use of Subsystems as a Function of Flight Phase (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 8: Landing and Mechanical Systems (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 14: Ground Operations - Launching the Shuttle (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 6: Propulsion - Space Shuttle Main Engines (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 3: Orbiter Sub-System Design (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 10: The DoD and the Space Shuttle (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 18: Mission Control 2 (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 21: Systems Engineering for Space Shuttle Payloads (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 7: Aerodynamics - (From Sub - to Hypersonic and Back) (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 12: Aerothermodynamics (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 13: Environmental Control Systems (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 2: Space Shuttle History (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 19: Design Process as it Relates to the Shuttle (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 17: Mission Control 1 (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 16: Guidance, Navigation and Control (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Lecture 22: Test Flying the Space Shuttle (Audio Normalized)Michael Johnston2015-09-24 | ...Atlas V 541 Night Launch from VAFBMichael Johnston2014-12-13 | ...Space Shuttle Discovery Departs for the SmithsonianMichael Johnston2012-04-21 | Space Shuttle Discovery flies over the Shuttle Landing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center, headed for display at the Smithsonian in Washington DC atop the original Shuttle Carrier Aircraft 747.Getting Messed Up at IHOPMichael Johnston2011-12-19 | ...Last Launch of the Space Shuttle Seen From the NASA CausewayMichael Johnston2011-07-09 | The very last launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis and the Space Shuttle Program as seen from NASA's Causeway, approximately 6 miles away!

Lyrics (from what I can tell, probably 90% accurate):
Well we fire main engines and our boosters just to get off the ground now Man, we heard it for miles We really put out a definite sound now And then we made it to orbit Now we're goin' just as fast as we can now And we'll have fun fun fun 'till we gotta put the Shuttle away
We'll we're movin' so fast but then we hardly use any gas now And the odometer's spinnin' like a top but it ain't gonna last now Yeah, we can make it 'round the planet and back in just an hour and a half now And we'll have fun fun fun 'till we gotta put The Shuttle awayFirst Space Shuttle in Space - STS-1Michael Johnston2011-04-14 | STS-1 was the first orbital flight of NASA's Space Shuttle, launched on 12 April 1981, and returning to Earth 14 April.

"Hey it's Omar! ....... It's Omar." I wanted to post it for the longest time but it seemed incomplete as a simple audio file, so I decided to animate his head. The gray thing he picks up is the empty pot of spaghetti and the black thing is the jar of M&M's that have been on top of his fridge since he moved in. They were animated to show how Omar walks around picking stuff up all the time and then shortly looses interest because of ADD.
