It is flown back on top of a 747 from the landing site back to Kennedy Space Center.
The Space Shuttle usually took off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

None. The Space Shuttle was (past tense) the property of NASA, a federal government agency. Before lift off, the shuttle was controlled by NASA at the Kenedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida, just outside of Titusville. After the Shuttle cleared the tower, control was transferred to the Johnson Space Center, in Huston, Texas. Individual states had nothing to do with the space shuttle's command and control. Both space centers are the property of the federal government, and not subject to state laws; just like domestic military bases.
The Kennedy Space Center, the launch facility for all NASA manned flights including the shuttle, is located on the barrier islands of Cape Canaveral, Florida (on the Atlantic coast eat of Orlando).
The space shuttle needs to go fast in order to reach orbit around the Earth. By going fast, the shuttle can overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth and enter into a stable orbit where it remains in space. This speed is necessary to counteract the pull of gravity and maintain a continuous state of freefall around the Earth.
This is known as free fall or microgravity. In this state, astronauts and objects inside the shuttle experience a sensation of weightlessness because they are falling at the same rate as the shuttle around the Earth, creating the illusion of being in a state of weightlessness.
Question is unclear. Federal prisoners can be moved by several means including bus van, or aircraft. State prisoners are customarily transported within the state by prisoner transport vans or buses.
Space shuttle astronauts in orbit do not hit their heads on the ceiling because they are in a state of free fall, experiencing microgravity. In this condition, both the astronauts and the shuttle are falling towards Earth at the same rate, creating the sensation of weightlessness. As a result, they float inside the shuttle and are not subject to the forces that would normally cause them to collide with surfaces.
The name of the NASA Space Shuttle that successfully launched from Kennedy Space Center on its final mission was Atlantis. Atlantis completed its final mission (STS-135) on July 8, 2011.
