None. The space shuttle is not capable of going to the moon. The only manned spacecraft to go to the moon were the lunar landers of the Apollo missions, which took place before the first space shuttle was built.
Ah, the first space shuttle's name was the Columbia. It was a magnificent vessel that paved the way for incredible discoveries and journeys beyond our wildest dreams. Just like a blank canvas waiting to be painted, the Columbia ventured into the unknown, inspiring us all to reach for the stars.
The US Space Shuttle program retired in 2011 after the final mission of Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-135) in July of that year.
