Technically all objects have gravity, however, an object's gravity depends on its mass. In order for its gravity to be noticeable an object must have a very large mass. The space shuttle weighs a couple thousand tons, which is not enough for there to be noticeable gravity. Many asteroids have masses of millions to trillions of tons.

Why did Americans invent the space shuttle?
THe American's built the space shuttle to have a reusable rocket that could go out into space and come back to earth.
How might you not jump without gravity?
Without gravity, you could jump all right... but you wouldn't fall back down. For example, if you jump on a small asteroid (with hardly any gravity), you would propel yourself into space and wouldn't come back.
How can people come out of the shuttle in space?
Escape pod
How can fire lighten in space without oxygen if there is no oxygen then how can a space shuttle come back?
The space shuttle is able to fire its engines in space because it takes the needed oxygen with it.
What is the name of the space shuttle that NASA just launched into space this morning?
A:The shuttle Discovery blasted off Monday morning as STS-131. Three more launches and the Shuttle program will come to an end
What happens when a space shuttle leaves your atmosphere?
It will go to space and come back to earth in 2 years.
How does space shuttle work?
first the rocket boosters carry it into space then the external tank pushes the shuttle above earth then when the shuttle is ready the external tank falls off and the shuttle is ready for its mission then after its mission the shuttle lands and blows out a parachute come out from the back to help the shuttle slow down.any parts from the rocket or shuttle can be reused except the external tank.
What country does Colombia the space shuttle come from?
Columbia was built in Palmdale, California, USA.
Where does asteroid come from?
Asteroids are small fractions of much larger stars, planets, and rocks in space.
What is the name of the first space shuttle to land at Edwards airforce base?
Enterprise, it did not fly in space though, it was released from a 747 just to see how well it would land Colombia was the first to come out of space and land at Edwards...this was also the first space flight of a space shuttle
What causes the space shuttle to stay in orbit?
The reason the Space Shuttle (or any other orbiting object) stays in orbit is a combination of centrifugal force and falling. Basically, the object is constantly falling due to gravity. However, it's also traveling around the planet and the centrifugal force of that travel is equal to the gravity causing it to fall. This is why inside the craft is weightless, gravity is negated by the force. This is also why some objects fall, their orbit and speed are not matched 100% to the force of gravity, so they slowly fall into the earth. This is also how shuttles and other ships come back to earth, they slow their orbit and gravity takes over!
What was the first space shuttle to go into space and come back?
I was almost certainly sure that it was the shuttle enterprise in the early 80's, I remember trek fans demanding it from NASA. I could be wrong though!
