    		Enterprise, the first Space Shuttle Orbiter, was originally to be named Constitution (in honor of the U.S. Constitution's Bicentennial).

    		Yes, but on a side note the Enterprise was only made for testing purposes and was never launched into space. The first shuttle to actually orbit the Earth was Columbia.
