A space shuttle has never left the galaxy and never will. However, theoretically it would take a space shuttle an unimaginable amount of time to leave the galaxy. (I'm sure someone can provide a more precise answer).
The Andromeda Galaxy is 12,904,531,200,000,000,000 miles away and the space shuttle orbits at 18,000 mph so to travel to the Andromeda Galaxy in the space shuttle would take 81.8 billion years which is around 18 times the currrent age of the universe!!!
the shuttle takes about 8 minutes to reach orbit
The Space Shuttle is not capable of going to the moon.
The Space Shuttle does not go to the moon. It only orbits the Earth.
The maximum speed achieved by the shuttle is 17,500mphThe Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.54 million light years away, which is about 1.5 x 1019 miles.This gives a total time of 857,142,857,142,857 hours, which equates to about 97,700,000,000 years.So about 98 billion years.Don't forget to bring along a good book.

It could not, the shuttle cannot leave low earth orbit
the shuttle takes about 8 minutes to reach orbit
I frankly doubt the actual shuttle design allows it to reach escape velocity enough to leave Earth's gravitational well, leave alone the possibility to escape Solar system.

It takes about 13.99 billion years for a galaxy to form.
How long it takes to get to Saturn depends on which route the shuttle takes. Generally, it can take between six and nine years to reach Saturn.

Closest star: (besides the sun) 8 years, Closest galaxy: 4,000,000.
