"160th American manned space flight". I make it the 161st or 162nd depending on whether or not 51L is counted. I suspect the 160 quoted here includes 51L but fails to include the two X-15 flights which met the FAI definition of 100 km for space (there were a couple more that met the USAF definition of 50 miles, I think). Mercury 6, Gemini 10, X-15 2, Apollo 11, Skylab 3, ASTP 1 = 33 + 127 or 128 previous Shuttle space flights, total 160 or 161.
