Fly birds, fly! STS-70 (Discovery) launched #OTD in 1995 from NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC)!
Aboard were crew members Commander Terry Henricks, Pilot Kevin Kregel, Mission Specialists Nancy Currie, Don Thomas and Mary Ellen Weber. The original liftoff date had been targeted for June 22, but for several reasons, including an "attack" by Northern Flicker woodpeckers (they poked about 200 holes in the foam insulation of Discovery's external tank (#whoops)), the launch was delayed.
