The shuttle is visible to the naked eye on a clear night as it passes overhead due to the sunlight reflecting off it's light colored fuselage. When docked with the International Space Station the two are even more visible.

Information about visible passes of the shuttle (when in orbit) as well as the International Space Station are available on http://www.heavens-above.com for any point on the Earth.
Enterprise was the first space shuttle. It's first flight was on Feb 18th 1977 aboard a modified 747 aircraft.Columbia was the first space shuttle to orbit the Earth. On April 12, 1981. See related link for more information
Space shuttles are not designed to operate outside of a low-earth orbit, where they are protected from deadly radiation by the earth's magnetic field; a mission to Sirius by a space shuttle is not even possible. For more information on the earth's radiation protective field, see the Wikipedia article:Van Allen radiation belt
The space shuttle is a reusable spacecraft. It has 3 main engines powered by liquid fuel which are used to launch it into orbit with help from similarly reusable solid fuel boosters (the white rockets along the side of the shuttle during launch). When returning after a mission, the space shuttle is unpowered and glides back for a landing. See related question.
you will see the last space shuttle launch in... and in a place called...
You can not see the space shuttle on Earth, but you can see it in a rocket!

No. The spac shuttle does not go beyond low Earth orbit. To see a black hole would require interstellar travel, which is not possible with current technology and might never be possible.

Yes you can because you are floating in a orbit around earth
the enterprise was not a space shuttle it was justa a prototype launched off the back of a plane to see how good it could glide back to earth.
Columbia 1981 - That is only true in a certain sence. (See nasa.gov for the definitive information) Columbia was indeed the first to achieve Earth orbit (in 1981), but the first shuttle built was the Enterprise. It was built in 1976.
Sunita Williams did not go to the moon. She was on board the space shuttle and then the International Space Station, both of which are in low earth orbit. There is a hoax around that states she went to the moon and saw certain lights but this is not true, as you can see from the above information.

To put a man into orbit around the Earth, and do it before the Americans did.
The space shuttle is called Atlantis.
