On August 9, 1991, the space mission STS-43 was in development, and it was when the four space shuttle Atlantis crew members, used for this mission, had the honor of carrying out a historical fact not very well known. The astronauts Shannoon Lucid and James C. Adamson, were responsible for sending the first email from space through an Apple Mac.
 

For this mission was used a Macintosh 5120, that which was the first laptop of the company founded by Steve Jobs, it was the first to have an internal battery that allowed him to perform its operation without the need to be connected to a source of electric power.

To carry out this mission AppleLink was used, the online service that Apple provides to its distributors, users, and third-party developers. And it was thanks to the help of an Apple engineer and NASA technicians that the event could be carried out. The message sent through this email was:
 
"Hello Earth! Greetings from the STS-43 team. It is the first AppleLink in space. Having great time, We wish you were here ... send Cryo and RCS! See you, Baby, ... we'll be back! "

 
The goal could be accomplished successfully, and was part of a group of missions to investigate and conduct short-term scientific experiments.
