What other space shuttles are there?
Other than the Space Transport System from NASA (which are the everyday "space shuttles"), there aren't that many other ones. The main "other" space shuttle was the Buran Program from the USSR, which had shuttles that looked very much like the American ones. This program was canceled in 1993. Scaled Composites and Virgin have come together to make the SpaceShip series of craft that are reusable, but they can't be used to get to full orbit.
Why dont space shuttles have propellers?
Propellers only work in a thick atmospheres, so at a certain height they stop working. This would make it impossible for the space shuttle to go into outer space.
Can space shuttles have gravity in them when in space?
Everything has a little of its own gravity, but you would have to be very massive to make just a little. Space shuttles have gravity, but it is almost too small to measure or have any effect on anything large. Some large asteroids have enough mass to make a small orbit. If you through a tennis ball on one of them, it might loop back and hit you on your head.
How many trips can a space shuttle take?
As long as it is repaired properly, a space shuttle can make trips to and from space forever. They were built for just that purpose. However, they will not do this because NASA is retiring the space shuttles this year (2010).
