In Space History Today:

Sunday, October 11, 1998

On Oct. 11, 1968, Apollo Seven, the first manned Apollo mission, was launched with astronauts Wally Schirra, Donn Fulton Eisele and R. Walter Cunningham aboard.

In 1958, the lunar probe Pioneer One was launched; it failed to go as far out as planned, fell back to Earth, and burned up in the atmosphere.

In 1984, space shuttle Challenger astronaut Kathy Sullivan became the first American woman to walk in space.
