Aluminium is used in the airframe of the space shuttle due to its light weight and high strenght. The problems with aluminum is that it is susceptible to fatigue and it requires shielding from heat for high temp applications
Astronauts use space shuttles( trasport people and equipment), Space probes (robotic exploration, Spacecrafts (trasport crew, equipment, and other technologies)
The two shuttles in the movie Armageddon (1998) are called the Freedom and the Independence.

You can sell your aluminum cans at the Ak-sar-ben Scrap Iron & Metal Company located at 1001 N 12th St Omaha, NE 68102.
The cruising altitude of the Space Shuttle depends on its mission. Since the Columbia disaster, with the exception of the last Hubble Servicing Mission in summer 2008, the cruising altitude has been equal to that of the International Space Station, approximately 340 km (211 miles). The highest a Space Shuttle has flown has been on the servicing missions to the Hubble Space Telescope, at approximately 600 km (372 miles). For a sense of perspective, on a 16 inch diameter globe 372 miles translates to .7515 of an inch. The maximum theoretical altitude for the Space Shuttle has been reported as 600 miles. On a 16 inch diameter globe 600 miles translates to 1.2121 inches.
Space shuttles are primarily made of aluminum alloys, reinforced carbon-carbon (RCC) for the heat shield, and thermal protection tiles. The external fuel tank is made of aluminum and the solid rocket boosters use a combination of aluminum, steel, and composite materials. Various other materials such as titanium, ceramics, and specific polymers are also used in different components of the space shuttle.
Most of the parts on the Shuttles are made of high tensile strength aluminum alloy composites (e.g., 6061-T6) or Titanium alloy.
NASA space shuttles
Space shuttles use energy, not make it
Powdered Aluminum is used in a mixture with ammonium perchlorate to fuel the solid rocket boosters on the sides of the space shuttle during the first minutes of the launch. Or the Astronaut's snort it for a good time.
Stations are built in space; Shuttles use rocket boosters.
no place, nobody has space shuttles anymore
It is not expected that the Space Shuttles will fly again.
The question is a little moot, since we don't have space shuttles any more.
The space shuttles that were first used in 1980 were Columbia and Challenger. Both space shuttles were part of NASA's Space Shuttle program and conducted various missions until the Challenger disaster in 1986.
4 Space Shuttles existed in 2011. Including the test vehicle, Space Shuttle Enterprise. Space Shuttles that actually went into space? 3. Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour.
If you mean space shuttles, the answer is no.
