I don't think they went into orbit, though.

What I want to know is who first thought of puttle the shuttle piggyback on an airplane...and who said, "that sounds like a great idea." LOL. Looks like a crazy idea to me.

I think it was in 77 or 78 when I saw the piggybacked Enterprise fly over my Houston schoolyard.
