Much of the shuttle was reused for each flight. A complete inspection was done of the outer cover of the shuttle body itself. The main tank for fuel (the large rust colored tank) was a throw away, but the two solid fuel engines on either side were also reused, once they were repacked and inspected.

Why is the space shuttle more different than any space veichal?

The space shuttle was designed to be reusable, unlike other space vehicles that are typically used once and then discarded. Additionally, the space shuttle had the unique capability to carry large payloads into space and return them back to Earth. Its design allowed for crewed missions to space where astronauts could conduct research and experiments.


Are there any reuseable spacecraft?

The Space Shuttle is pretty much reusable. The orbiter is, and the Solid Rocket Boosters were designed to be salvaged and remanufactured, although I'm not sure that any SRBs have ever flown again. The SpaceShipOne rocket technically reached space, (but not orbit) and is completely reusable, and SpaceShipTwo will be completely reusable.

What medium does the sound wave travel through to get from the shuttle?

We will assume you are asking about the Space Shuttle, a reusable spacecraft flown by NASA. While the shuttle is lifting off and in the atmosphere any sound generated by the shuttle will travel through the air. When the shuttle is in orbit there is no (or very very little) air and any sound that would have been generated by the shuttle will not be transmitted. There is a pressurized atmosphere within the shuttle that allows the voices of the astronauts to travel within the shuttle just as it does on the surface of the Earth.
