Going into space. Going into space.
It is not expected that the Space Shuttles will fly again.
So far, technology has only allowed us to travel to space in rockets/space shuttles.
Columbia was a Space Shuttle. Space Shuttles travel to an orbit around the Earth and return.
Both rockets and space shuttles have been used for space travel. Rockets are typically used to launch spacecraft into orbit, while space shuttles are reusable spacecraft that can carry astronauts and cargo to and from space. Many astronauts have traveled in both rockets and space shuttles over the years.
Yes! As far as space travel goes, Shuttles are basically our only way, at the moment, to travel far distances in the endless reaches of space. Apart from rockets which take take us from earth into space, and carry the heavy loads, shuttles are what are used mainly.

Space shuttles are reusable spacecraft that were used by NASA to transport astronauts and cargo to space. They were launched like a rocket and landed like a glider. The space shuttle program operated from 1981 to 2011.
Space shuttles travel in the thermosphere, which is the second highest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. This layer extends from about 80 km to 550 km above the Earth's surface and is where the International Space Station orbits.

No. Space shuttles are Too Dangerous: Challenger and Columbia, RIP. NASA is going to build a new rocket to send people in to space, but, there will be no more space shuttles.
