April 12, 1981
TODAY "Florida's Space Age Newspaper" which is from Brevard County, Florida, April 12, 1981  The banner headline: "Here We Go Again!"  & beneath which is: "Good luck, Columbia, John and Bob!" with a large color photo of the space shuttle Columbia on the launch pad. This newspaper if from Brevard County, the home of the John F. Kennedy Space Center, and as such is perhaps the best newspaper to have for the inaugural flight of the first space shuttle. At the time this edition went to press the flight was scheduled for a 7 a.m. flight. It did lift off on this date. The "Again" in the headline references a delay in the lift-off from 2 days previous.
This is the first section only and containing pages 1-6 and 15- 20, lacking pages 7-14. Some light water staining & foxing, mainly towards the edges.
