No space shuttle has ever reached the moon. The 5 manned missions to land on the moon were the Apollo missions 11 though 17, with the exception of Apollo 13, which was unable to land due to a malfunction.
No way! It is far away It will take a lifetime to get there but they could because they sent a probe to space and it took around half a year to a year to get there and a rocket can travel at 5000kph so would get there in around 5-8 months
At peak intensity Hurricane Rita was a category 5.
The moon orbits on a tilt of about 5°
The prevailing theory today concerning the formation of the Moon is known as the "Giant Impact Theory". It is hypothesized that an object roughly the size of Mars hit the proto-Earth (developing earth) and caused a large chunk the earth to be ejected into space. That would mean that the Moon is approximately 4-5 billion years old, or if you want to be more precise, as old as the earth.
Hurricane Rita reached category 5 strength over the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
None. The moon missions were launched by a Saturn 5 rocket carrying an Apollo space capsule. The space shuttles were used for earth orbit missions.
5 NASA Shuttles have been into space. Of those 5 shuttles, 2 were unfortunately destroyed. There has been a total of 135 Space missions using the space shuttle between the years 1980 and 2011 :)
5 different space shuttles have been launched on 129 missions.
There was only 6 Space Shuttles. Only 5 of them went into space.

The 5 Space Shuttles flew in space 134 times. One mission didn't make it to space.
All 5 Space Shuttles launch from Kennedy Space Center on the east coast of Florida, USA.
5. Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour.
5 Space Shuttle orbiters have been built. 3 remain in service.
There are 5 Space Shuttles. Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour look exactly the same except for their names. Columbia's tip of it's rear stabilizer and wings are black.
It takes about 4 or 5 days to get from earth to the moon so if you are going to the moon pack enough food,water,and stuff to doSpace shuttles can't go to the moon. They only are made to be in earth orbit. The various Apollo missions that went to the moon took about 3 days to reach it. Space shuttles takes approximately eight minutes to reach space.
Columbia(disintigrated in 2003), Challenger(exploded in 1986), Discovery, Endeavour, Atlantis.
