The official answer... way to long!
If you really want a mathematical answer lets give it a try...
speed of light is 3*10^8 m/s
60 secondes per minute, 60 minutes per hour, 24 hour per day and 365 days per year:
60*60*24*365 = 31 536 000 secondes/year.
300 000 km/s * 31 536 000 s/year = 9 460 800 000 000 km/year ---> this is the distance light travels in one year.
The Shuttle travels at an approximate speed of 28 000 km/h
28 000 km/h * 24 * 365 = 245 280 000 km/year
100 000 light years * 9 460 800 000 000 km = 946 080 000 000 000 000 km
946 080 000 000 000 000 / 245 280 000 = 3 857 142 857 years
I hope there is an inflight movie!

How has space shuttle travel revolutionised space travel?
Well for starters we are actually able to get into space with a space shuttle...
Before the space shuttle what was used to travel of space?
All space travel is in rockets - it is just their shape and size that varies - that includes the shuttle.
How would astronuts travel into space or to the moon?
they would travel in a space shuttle
How has the space shuttle helped space exploration?
We can now travel in space and examine everything out there and we wouldn't be able to do that with out the space shuttle.

Can a space shuttle travel faster than the speed of light?
No 1). Nothing can. 2). No space shuttle ever came anywhere close to that speed. 3). No space shuttle can travel at any speed now, because that program has ended, and the remaining shuttles are in museums.
