The last space shuttle launch took place on July 8, 2011, and it was broadcast live on NASA TV as well as various news channels. It may be possible to find archived footage of the launch online on platforms like YouTube or NASA's website. Live streams of future space launches can be found on NASA TV and space agency websites.
The first shuttle to be stuck in space was the Apollo 13 mission in 1970. An oxygen tank explosion caused critical systems to fail, leading to a dangerous situation for the astronauts on board. Through ingenuity and teamwork, the crew and ground control were able to safely return the shuttle to Earth.
Space shuttle launches are no longer conducted as the Space Shuttle program was discontinued in 2011. However, you can watch rocket launches from various space agencies such as NASA, SpaceX, and others at launch facilities like Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, and Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex in Florida. Additionally, many launches are live-streamed online for viewing from anywhere in the world.
The first constructed Space Shuttle was the Enterprise. It was a craft only used for handling and landing tests and study glide characteristics. It never traveled into space. The first flight certified shuttle was Columbia, the first shuttle to fly into space in 1981.First space shuttle used for testing transport / return was Enterprise, which was not made fully functional until other craft were lost.Enterprise was the first space shuttle, but was not meant to go into space, and was used for testing purposes. Colombia was the first fully- functional shuttle.Original the Space Shuttle was going to called the Constitution but a lot of fan from the Televison show "Star Trek" wrote to NASA and because of all the letter, NASA renamed it to "Enterprise"Also the Space Shuttle Enterprise was use in the credit for the show "Star Trek: Enterprise" when it was pull out from the hangerEnterprise, the first Space Shuttle Orbiter, was originally to be named Constitution (in honor of the U.S. Constitution's Bicentennial).

The shuttle Enterprise was used before this, but never went into space.The first Space Shuttle completed was named "Enterprise", and was completed in 1977. It never made space flight, though, as it never was equipped with a functioning heat shield, or even engines. It was used simply for test flights within the atmosphere. The first Space Shuttle to complete a mission to space was named the "Columbia". It was completed in 1979, and made the first trip to space of any Space Shuttle in 1981.
The Challenger space shuttle disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida on January 28, 1986, just 73 seconds after launch. The crew tragically lost their lives in the accident.

Launch Pad - it is shot off to space vertically with SRB (solid rocket boosters) - havent you seen om TV - shuttle being launched??
First of all, the last Space Shuttle Mission flew in 2011, and there won't be any more. The only people in space for the forseeable future will be the crew of the International Space Station. They can watch pre-recorded audio/visual material, such as DVDs, VHS and Beta tapes, and film-strips, but they can't receive real-time TV broadcasts from stations on the Earth's ground.

Possibly due to the fact this is an International Space Station and not ( Go to Whoa) a Nasa project like the Space Shuttle, Apollo series or similar. It is sad indeed that interest in manned space flight- the all time attraction to TV Live coverage- some forty-plus years ago has dwindled so.

In 1981, MTV started. Also in 1981, Prince Charles married Diana in a world viewed wedding. I don't know if MTV would be considered an historical televised event, but on Jan 28, 1986 the space shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after takeoff, killing all crew members. The event was televised.
