Do we really need the first letter? Can't people memorize six things without any help?

Well, I managed 2 with the clues, so for me, the answers are Yes and No.

Sure, but why would I want to memorize the names of the space shuttles?

Not sure we want to start going down the "Why would I want to memorize X?" road on a trivia site.

The names of the shuttles is way more interesting to me than the state capitals.

Don't you find it weird that both space shuttles that exploded had names that began with C?

In the realm of coincidences, which is vast and the source of endless conspiracy theories, this is an exceedingly minor one.

You do if you're not a space geek, like me. I got 5 with the first letter and probably would have missed 1 or 2 of them without the clue.

Got them all with 1:43 to spare. First letter was a major help.

I got 2 with the letter. Why on Earth (pun fully intended) would I know the names of shuttles?! leave them in and let the people who have already taken the quiz forget about their gripes within seconds of posting their comment.

If you were alive during the shuttle era, you were have heard all but one of these names all the time. (Enterprise never went to space)

Enterprise first flight? Bit of a stretch - it was not one of the orbiters to make it into space.

Enterprise for me was a guess. Thanks, Star Trek.

The most awesome thing about the space shuttle Enterprise is that it was actually named after the *starship* Enterprise from Star Trek! That’s even more epic of a naming story than Boaty McBoatface, IMHO.

"First flight" doesn't necessarily mean "first flight into space," just "first flight."

Technically it isn't flying unless it is within the atmosphere anyway.

Wasn't alive when John F. Kennedy was assassinated. But there are 2 events where I remember everything about where I was when they happened: the 9/11 attacks and the Challenger disaster. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when news of those things broke, like permanent snap-shots in my mind.

I think what made the Challenger disaster just a bit sadder than it otherwise would have been was that it wasn't just seasoned astronauts who perished, but also Christa McAuliffe, a school teacher. I think how excited and proud her students must've been as launch approached, and then how horrified and heart-broken they had to be as they watched the catastrophe unfold.

Yeah, we watched the Challenger launch in school. I'll never forget that.

I remember those events plus the deaths of Kennedy and yes, Elvis.

Then again, I also remember every time the Cardinals won the World Series in my lifetime, so it isn't only world-changing events that imprint in my brain.

6/6 in 23 seconds( due to spelling Discovery like Discoverary).

Understandable, but also kinda sad, that the two most-guessed space shuttles in this quiz are the ones that failed and took the lives of their crews.

Always interesting to discover a quiz where I know literally 0 of the answers, even with hints lol. At least here I maybe have the excuse of being non-American and too young?
