Front page on a 3.5 hour space walk from Space Shuttle Challenger by Astronauts Don Peterson and Story Musgrave. The spacewalk tested the new reusable spacesuits and procedures for mechanical space repairs. The New York Post sometimes abbreviated as NY Post is a daily tabloid newspaper in New York City. It was established in 1801 by Federalist and Founding Father Alexander Hamilton and became a respected broadsheet in the 19th century under the name New York Evening Post. In 1976 Rupert Murdoch bought the Post for US$30.5 million. The lead story was about the first flight of Space Shuttle Challenger STS-6 which was the sixth NASA Space Shuttle mission and the maiden flight of the Space Shuttle Challenger. Launched from Kennedy Space Center on 4 April 1983 the mission deployed the first Tracking and Data Relay Satellite TDRS-1 into orbit before landing at Edwards Air Force Base on 9 April. STS-6 was the first Space Shuttle mission during which a spacewalk was conducted and hence was the first in which the Extravehicular Mobility Unit EMU was used. STS-6 was the last shuttle mission with a four-person crew until STS-135 the final shuttle mission which launched on 8 July 2011. Commander Paul Weitz had previously served as Pilot on the first Skylab mission where he lived and worked in Skylab for nearly a month from May to June 1973. After Skylab Weitz became the Deputy Chief of the Astronaut Office under Chief Astronaut John Young. Karol Bobko originally became an astronaut for the Air Force's Manned Orbiting Laboratory program but later joined NASA in 1969 after the MOL program's cancellation. Prior to STS-6 he participated in the Skylab Medical Experiment Altitude Test and worked as a member of the support crew for the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. It was Story Musgrave's first flight and Donald Peterson's only flight. Peterson was also a transfer from the MOL program and was a member of the support crew for Apollo 16. Musgrave joined NASA in 1967 as part of the second scientist-astronaut group and was the backup Science Pilot for the first Skylab mission. He also participated in the design of the equipment that he and Peterson used during their EVA on the STS-6 mission. News Group Publications, Inc unknown
