The space shuttle program ended in 2011, so there are no more planned space shuttle flights. NASA has shifted its focus to other spacecraft and rockets for future missions to space.
More than 20,000 tiles fit on a space shuttle.
Unfortunately there are no more space shuttle launches or landings. The last space shuttle landing was by Space Shuttle Atlantis on July 21 at 5:57 a.m. EDT.

Discovery is NASA's oldest space shuttle and it has been in flight for more than 25 years. Currently, it has traveled 148,221,675 miles.
Yes. The final space shuttle launch is scheduled for April of this year.
Is the question about the space shuttle, or the game of shuttle-cock? More information is needed.
James Kay did not invent the first space shuttle. The first space shuttle, known as the Space Shuttle Enterprise, was developed by NASA and made its first test flight in 1977. The concept of a reusable space shuttle was proposed in the 1960s as a way to make space travel more cost-effective.
Seven more are planned. STS-128 to STS-134. STS-132 May 14th 2010 will be the last flight of Atlantis STS-134 Sept 16th 2010 will be the last flight of Discovery and the Shuttle program.
It may not be very far into space, but the space lab is in space, and every time they launch the shuttle it's a manned space flight. As to why not more ... it's expensive and dangerous, and congress would rather spend money building a bridge to nowhere.
No, Voyager is not an American space shuttle. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are twin spacecraft launched by NASA in 1977 on a mission to study the outer planets. They are not designed for human travel like the space shuttle.
NASA does not use spac shuttle any more
