What was the first organism to travel to space besides people?
Ameba
Is anyone else besides nasa doing space travel?
spacex
Is it possible to make space travel much faster?
Yes ... but not with chemical engines - we need ion rockets - or perhaps nuclear engines.
How do space shuttle get into space?
space shuttle orbiters are launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They must not only travel the ~250 miles to reach "space", they must accelerate to over 17,000 mph to maintain orbit around the Earth. The shuttle orbiter uses its 3 main engines along with a pair of solid rocket boosters to do this.
Why only rocket engines can be propelled to space?
Rocket engines are not air breathing engines and hence they can be propelled into space.
Are rockets and jet engines the same?
No. Jet engines draw oxygen from the atmosphere to mix and burn with jet fuel, and cannot function in a vacuum. Rockets carry their own oxygen, and can travel in the vacuum of space.
Will a space shuttle speed up or slow down when it fires its engines when facing backwards?
If it is facing in the opposite direction of travel it will slow down.
Did the invention of the airplane affect space travel?
It may have been an inspiration but space travel borrows very little from aeroplanes. Aeroplane wings need air so they do not work in space. The same is true of jet engines. Spacecraft use rocket motors to break free from the earth's atmosphere.
What is a space revolution?
A space revolution refers to significant advancements, innovations, and changes in space exploration, technology, and industry. It involves breakthroughs in space travel, satellite technology, space research, and commercial space activities that transform how we understand, utilize, and interact with space.
How does the shuttle fire burn its engines in space?
The shuttle does not fire it's engines in space, it only fires orbit adjusters.
Who does space travel benefit?
space travel denefits me =)
