Only five states and territories had launches that got into orbit: Florida, California, Virginia, Alaska and Marshall Islands
But when is the first time a rocket launched from each of those that states reached orbit?
Jon Heller said he would answer this question using his great SQL tools.
Florida is the most easy because it had the first launch of a USA satellite.
- Florida - 1 February 1958 - Explorer 1
For California I could only find Athena I rocket launching Lewis satellite at 23 August 1997
