An excellent collection of photos, articles, comments and quizzes.

It was 50 years ago this year that Alan B. Shepard became the first American in space on May 5, 1961. He was preceded by Russian Yuri Gagarin on April 12, 1961.

And of course this year marks the end of the Space Shuttle program.

Shepard's spacecraft was called Freedom 7. The last Space Shuttle to fly was Atlantis.
