Depending on your definition, the descent to earth from space would be about 60 miles long if you were to consider "space" to start at 60 miles above sea-level.
A space shuttle re-entering Earth's atmosphere typically takes about 30 minutes to reach the Earth's surface once it begins its descent. The exact time can vary depending on the angle of re-entry and the specifics of the descent trajectory chosen.
It takes approximately 3 hours for a space shuttle to travel from the International Space Station (ISS) to Earth. The descent involves a controlled re-entry and landing process.
Yes, the space shuttle glides to Earth during its descent after re-entering the atmosphere. It uses its aerodynamic design to create lift and control its descent similar to an airplane. By gliding, the shuttle can make precise landings at designated landing sites.
Felix Baumgartner's descent from the edge of space took approximately 10 minutes. After jumping from a height of about 128,000 feet (39,000 meters) during his Red Bull Stratos mission, he free-fell for about four minutes before deploying his parachute. The entire experience, including the free-fall and parachute descent, culminated in a landing on Earth.
It takes around 3-6 hours to return to Earth from the International Space Station (ISS). The journey involves a controlled descent in a Soyuz spacecraft, re-entering the Earth's atmosphere, and landing in a designated area in Kazakhstan.
When landing on Earth, a space shuttle goes through the following layers in order: initial deceleration, entry, descent, approach, and landing.
Returning to Earth from the International Space Station typically takes about 3 to 6 hours, depending on the specific mission profile and spacecraft used. After undocking, the spacecraft performs a series of maneuvers to re-enter Earth's atmosphere, followed by a controlled descent. The exact duration can vary based on factors like orbital position and mission objectives.

Space Colonization(space settlement, space humanization, space habitation) is autonomous (self-sufficient) human habitation outside of Earth. It is a long-term goal of national space programs.
