The engines for the space shuttle.
3 mainly but it can be more or less depending on the rocket
Each shuttle used 2 solid-fuel rocket boosters, which were designed to be recovered and re-used.
use "Shift"
The orbiter, the airplane looking part, and the solid rocket boosters are reused. However, the SRBs (solid rocket boosters) have to be completely dismantled and almost totally rebuilt.

to beat gravity of the earth
Cause it suck dicks
Yes they can, they were sighted 20 million years ago...by you.
Stations are built in space; Shuttles use rocket boosters.
There are 2 solid rocket boosters (white things) and one fuel tank (red thing) the solid rocket boosters do all the work and use up the fuel in the fuel tank and then both the solid rocket boosters and the fuel tank fall off and are collect on earth and reused (there is a secondary fuel tank built in to the actual to take were it need to go once its in space)
NASA SRBs(solid rocket booster), have an inert wieght of 190,000 pounds. When filled,they wiegh about 100,100,000 pounds.
the rocket boosters and the external tank has their own parachute deployed after the separation and a given altitude. As they go down back to earth they are intended to land in the ocean where they will be recovered and put back to service.
