PTEN in pieces
With many of the Chris-Craft television stations that formed its backbone now allied to Paramount’s UPN network, fledgeling network PTEN is in a precarious position – especially when many of those stations bail out or only show PTEN programming in late-night time slots. PTEN parent company Warner Brothers announces that the network’s two most popular shows, Babylon 5 and Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, will be renewed for the fall season, but also reveals that PTEN is giving up its ambitions to become the next Fox: in order to keep stations from ditching PTEN entirely, Warner is basically keeping the PTEN brand afloat only as a syndication package for those two shows. The action series Pointman is cancelled, with its remaining episodes to be “burned off” during the summer months prior to the fall season premieres of the two surviving shows.

Discovery’s crew for this flight is Commander Loren Shriver, Pilot Charles Bolden, and mission specialists Steven Hawley, Bruce McCandless and Kathryn Sullivan.

Introduced alongside the IIc is a new Apple operating system, ProDOS, meant to mimic some of the object-oriented features of the Macintosh user interface, as well as an Apple II mouse. Perhaps not surprisingly, Apple also chooses to quietly discontinue support for the Apple III on this date as well.

Soyuz 1: cosmonaut down
After a day in space aboard a spacecraft crawling with technical glitches, cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov orients the Soyuz 1 capsule for return to Earth. Though the vehicle survives reentry through Earth’s atmosphere, the main parachute fails to open, and the first Soyuz capsule returns to Earth at a speed of well over 100 miles per hour, killing Komarov instantly. The Soviet Union’s space program is stalled – much like the American Apollo program, postponed after the fatal Apollo 1 fire – well into 1968 as a result of the need to redesign Soyuz from the inside out.
