The first space shuttle built was called Enterprise and was used for development, flight tests, landing tests and other purposes, but never went into space - it was not actually built for that. I don't think it should be left out of this list. http://www.nasm.si.edu/research/dsh/artifacts/HS-Enterprise.htm
