Any action have a re-action.
The action of the space-shuttle is to let out gas in one direction. This will create a push effect that moves or turns the shuttle in opposite direction.
It works the same with aeroplanes and boats. they just have the action and reaction as in the movement resistance of air and water in addition. This resistance is hardly present at all in space. At least there is very little of it, depending on where we are.
