The first shuttle missions had a crew of 2, many later missions had 5. Nowadays, the usual crew is 7 people (commander, pilot, several mission specialists, and rarely a flight engineer). One 2 occasions, 8 astronauts have flown (missions STS-61-A and STS-71). In case of an emergency rescue mission, the absolute maximum crew is 11.
An average flight of the space shuttle usually carries seven astronauts. Seven is the most any space shuttle has ever carried into space. In emergency situations the shuttle could hold up to ten people but this situation has never been encountered. The shuttle however needs a minimum of 2 astronauts to fly it safely.
With few verified depictions of the historic Cleopatra in existence, those who wish to dress as the Egyptian queen are free to let imagination dictate their Cleopatra costumes. A period coin with Cleopatra�s likeness reveals that she styled herself after the Egyptian goddess, Isis, cloaked with an iridescent, striped linen mantel. Tight curls peep out from an elaborate diadem, but those curls may have been a wig. Wealthy Egyptians wore wigs over shaved heads.
Historians believe Cleopatra�s allure came more from her personality than her dress, but the public�s fascination with this powerful woman of the past has prompted portrayals of extravagance and beauty for centuries. This makes it all the more fun for those creating inexpensive Cleopatra costumes � partygoers can look to Hollywood for ideas.
Theda Bara�s 1917 depiction of the Queen of the Nile was the most scandalous. She wore sheer skirts of gauze, with ornamented bras that were outrageously revealing, even for the pre-censorship period. In 1934, Claudette Colbert wore bangs peeping out from elaborate gold headgear � bangs were not likely worn by the historical Egyptian queen. Most people remember Elizabeth Taylor�s depiction of Cleopatra the best, and a lot of the popularity for Cleopatra costumes comes from a desire to recreate Taylor�s glamour.
The one common element of all Hollywood�s interpretations of Cleopatra is the makeup. History does confirm that the Queen most likely wore heavy black eyeliner around her eyes, with that characteristic sweep to the side from the outward corner. In ancient Egypt, everyone wore eye makeup, following a belief that the makeup protected them from disease. Some researchers think that belief may have been correct � the low doses of lead salts in the makeup may have boosted their immune systems. Other scientists think the makeup protected the Egyptians from skin damage from the sun.
For inexpensive materials for a Cleopatra costume, purchase muslin or other affordable light fabrics for the skirt. Decorate a bra or bathing suit for the top. A mantel can be crafted by cutting a head opening into a circle of heavy fabric. Thick black yarn can be used to fashion a wig. Purchase inexpensive costume jewelry to wear as adornment.
The space shuttle usually has a crew of seven, or six if they are collecting an astronaut from the ISS. This can be extended to eight.
The Space shuttle was designed for nominal flight with 7 people. However more people could be placed inside in case of an emergency.
The Space Shuttle Endeavor is being decommissioned and prepared to be a static display exhibit. It will never again go into space.

Eight Canadian astronauts have been to space on U. S. NASA Space Shuttles or Russian Soyuz rockets. These astronauts were Roberta Bondar, Marc Garneau, Steve MacLean, Robert Thirsk, Bjarni Tryggvason, Dave Williams, Julie Payette, and Chris Hadfield.
The shuttle astronauts carry some of the water needed for themselves and also deliver water to the International Space Station. Over a year 2200 liters are transported at a cost of $US11000 per liter. The ISS also has a Russian built device that processes the humidity in the air and condenses it for drinking and other purposes. On the shuttle, water is produced as a byproduct of the orbiter's fuel cells converting hydrogen and oxygen to electricity. Because of the massive cost of transporting water, NASA is working on a system that converts many of the astronauts' body fluids - and, yes, that includes urine - into drinkable water. See the Related Link below for the interesting details.
Approximately 463 astronauts have been to space, but usually there are only three at once - the astronauts on the International Space Station. When the shuttle is on a mission there are a total of ten or eleven people in space.
