How do space shuttles aid space exploration?
Space shuttles are not directly involved with space exploration. A space shuttle is only designed to be able to deliver supplies and cargo to Low earth orbit and back.

Why are shuttles called shuttles?
The space shuttle is a reusable space vehicle; it goes into space and it comes back, and can be used again for futher missions into space. Whereas, previously space travel was done by rockets that could be used only once. The rockets would be used up after a single use. Shuttles, therefore, are the kind that can shuttle back and forth.
