because they are small in the front and big in the back for less frickion
Space shuttles use energy, not make it
Russia, USA, China?
Enterprise was the only Space Shuttle that was never meant for space.
The food in space is stocked in space shuttles. It is stocked in large amounts to make astronauts eat in space.
The 5 Space Shuttles flew in space 134 times. One mission didn't make it to space.
The Columbia accident.

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.
Space shuttles are primarily made of aluminum alloys, reinforced carbon-carbon (RCC) for the heat shield, and thermal protection tiles. The external fuel tank is made of aluminum and the solid rocket boosters use a combination of aluminum, steel, and composite materials. Various other materials such as titanium, ceramics, and specific polymers are also used in different components of the space shuttle.
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.
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).
because it does
