- troymc 16y agoThe launch of the first Space Shuttle happened April 12, 1981. Top Gun, the movie, came out about five years later, on May 16, 1986. Maybe the Space Shuttle launch did cause an increase in interest in aerospace programs, and maybe it didn't. I don't know. What I do know is that Top Gun did cause an increased interest in aerospace courses and programs.
