Compare the the Saturn V rocket to Space Shuttle Why can't the shuttle travel to the moon?

The space shuttle was never designed to fly to the moon. The booster rocket for the shuttle did not have enough power to fly to the moon, as it was designed to launch the shuttle into low earth orbit. To enter Earth orbit a spacecraft needs to go 17,500 mph. To climb out of Earth's gravity well and fly to the moon, a spacecraft needs to go 24,000 mph. While those numbers seem close, they are not when it comes to rocket power. The shuttle would have needed many thousands of pounds more rocket fuel to launch to the moon and even more to turn around and come back home. The shuttle couldn't fly to the moon because it was never designed to do so. The Saturn V, on the other hand, was.


Did the space shuttle ever land on the moon?

No. The space shuttle is built for low Earth orbit, not moon landings.
