How much time will it take space shuttle to reach the nearest star from?
A space shuttle traveling at its maximum speed of about 17,600 miles per hour would take over 73,000 years to reach the nearest star (Proxima Centauri) located about 4.24 light years away from Earth. This journey is far beyond the capabilities of current space travel technology.
How much does it cost to send someone into space?
The cost to send someone into space can vary greatly depending on the type of mission, spacecraft, and space agency or company involved. Currently, the cost for a seat on a commercial spaceflight can range from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars.
What direction will the shuttle come from when it appears in the sky?
forwards It is always traveling around the Earth in the same direction as we are rotating, but much faster. The space shuttle when in space can point in any direction, as there in no up and down. It still keeps moving in the same direction, even with engines facing forward.
How much co2 is produced when the space shuttle goes up?
The fuel used by the main space shuttle engines is super-cold liquid hydrogen, kept at a temperature of -253oC. The hydrogen fuel is combusted with liquid oxygen in a reaction that reaches temperatures of up to 3136oC to creates a high-speed stream of gas which ultimately generates the thrust necessary for launching the shuttle. This gas stream is essentially just very hot water steam with no CO2.
What things from 2001 A Space Odyssey are real?
Leaving aside those things that were already known to be real at the time it was filmed (people, the Moon, picture phones, Velcro, and so on) ... not all that much. The one prediction that's come (sort of) true is the space station in Earth orbit being visited by something resembling the Space Shuttle. However, that's not a particularly impressive prediction, since the movie was filmed in the late 1960s and a space station (Skylab) was actually launched in 1973. Even the resemblance to the Shuttle is no more than might be expected from having a basic understanding of engineering (the ability to land softly pretty much makes wings a requirement, and it doesn't look that much like the actual Shuttle). It's even true that it's possible for a private citizen to buy a ticket and travel to the International Space Station, though not as easily as the movie implies. Also, at the time of the movie, it was reasonable to put a Pan Am logo on the tail of the shuttle; that's certainly not true today.

Who invented space shuttle?
The first functional shuttle ever to be produced was the Columbia in the year 1981. This shuttle was designed and invented by NASA and not by any single person. Plans to invent the Space Shuttle began even before the Apollo Lunar Missions in the year 1969.The main concerns at that point were logistics; how much the shuttle would cost and how it was to be built. Hope this helps.
Did they find body parts from the Columbia spaceshuttle?
Yes, after the Columbia space shuttle disaster in 2003, body parts were found among the debris in Texas and Louisiana. The remains of the astronauts were found and recovered during the investigation following the accident.
What happened with the Columbia space shuttle?
the space shuttle Columbia exploded as it was entering earth's atmosphere. it got up to a normal temperature of 2800 degrees F (1300 C) but the wheels got much to hot just around Texas about 15 minutes to landing and eventually burnt up. unfortunately all 7 astronauts died.
