    Mission summary

    STS-7 began on June 18, 1983, with an on-time liftoff at 7:33 am EDT. It was the first spaceflight of an American woman (Sally K. Ride), the largest crew to fly in a single spacecraft up to that time (five people), and the first flight that included members of NASA's Group 8 astronaut class, which had been selected in 1978 to fly the Space Shuttle.

    The crew of STS-7 included Robert L. Crippen, commander, making his second Shuttle flight; Frederick H. Hauck, pilot; and Ride, John M. Fabian and Norman Thagard, all mission specialists. Thagard conducted medical tests concerning Space Adaptation Syndrome, a bout of nausea frequently experienced by astronauts during the early phase of a space flight.

    Seeds We Sow

    by: Lindsey Buckingham

    Soldiers of fortune that do conceal
    Everything they're afraid to show
    Everything they once gave now paid to steal
    Oh, the seeds we sow
    Soldiers of Fortune in paradise
    Have to tell ourselves let go
    Running through their veins with water cold as ice
    Oh, the seeds we sow
    Oh, ta, ta, ta
    Oh, ta, ta, ta
    Sweet things, pretty things are dying
    In the penny arcade of Edgar Allan Poe
    Medicine men have all gone spying
    Oh, the seeds we sow
    Had a dream that you reached for me in the night
    Touched me soft and slow
    Everything was wrong but everything was right
    Oh, the seeds we sow
    Oh, ta, ta, ta
    Oh, ta, ta, ta
    Oh, ta, ta, ta
    Oh, ta, ta, ta
    Oh, oh, the seeds we sow
    Oh, oh, the seeds we sow
    Oh, oh, the seeds we sow
