The maximum speed of the space shuttle is 7,743 m/s.
The maximum velocity of a 220 swift is 4,000 ft/s or 1,219 m/s
Therefore the Space Shuttle is a little over 6 times faster "than a speeding" bullet.

How long does it take the space shuttle to reach outer space from launch?
It takes about 8 minutes from launch for the shuttle to reach space. How is that for speed? Once in space, the space shuttle and the International Space Station orbit the Earth about 16 times a day. They are actually traveling faster than a bullet! That fast rate of speed along with Earth's gravity keep them in orbit around our planet
How much time does it take to fly to the space?
It takes about 8 minutes from launch for the shuttle to reach space. Wow? The space shuttle and the International Space Station orbit the Earth about 16 times a day. They are actually traveling faster than a bullet and together with the Earth's gravity keep them in orbit around our planet
What is the speed of the space shuttle?
Mach 5, 5 times faster than the speed of sound!
How many times can a space shuttle be used?
It depends on the conditions of the space shuttle and how well it is maintained. Space shuttle discovery went on 39 missions to space
How many times did Columbia space shuttle fly?
Space Shuttle Columbia has 28 missions. It safely launched 28 times, and safely reentered the atmosphere 27 times.

Which is the shuttle Sent to space mOST times?
The space shuttle Discovery has flown the most times of all the space shuttle orbiters.
Is a rocket faster than a bullet?
It can be. A bullet is traveling at the greatest speed when t leaves the barrel, and immediately starts to slow down. A rocket starts slowly, and moves faster and faster as the engines burn. To achieve orbit, the Space Shuttle would accelerate from zero to a speed of almost 28,968 kilometers per hour (18,000 miles per hour), a speed nine times faster than the average rifle bullet.

Roughly how many times does a space shuttle go into space before NASA gets a new one?
No working space shuttle has been replaced yet.
