Does the space shuttle's engines have the power of 140 jumbo jets?
At take off, the shuttle along with its boosters creates 6,780,000 lbf of thrust. A 747-8i creates 266,000 lbf of thrust with its 4 GEnx-2B67 engines. So you'd only need just over 25 747-8i to have the same power as a shuttle at takeoff. NASA's Space Shuttle Fleet, Atlantis, Endeavor, Discovery, Columbia, & Challenger, hold the world record in speed, Mach 11 ( 45000 Miles Per Hour ). NASA's space shuttle fleet is one of a kind; no other Vehicle has the engines of This fleet.

Who invented the first space shuttle Columbia?
Contractors at North American Rockwell. Space Shuttle After a gap of six years, NASA returned to human spaceflight in 1981, with the advent of the Space Shuttle. The Shuttle's first mission, STS-1, took off on April 12, 1981, demonstrating that it could take off vertically and glide to an unpowered airplane-like landing. On STS-6, during April 4-9, 1983, F. Story Musgrave and Donald H. Peterson conducted the first Shuttle EVA, to test new spacesuits and work in the Shuttle's cargo bay. Sally K. Ride became the first American woman to fly in space when STS-7 lifted off on June 18, 1983, another early milestone of the Shuttle program. On January 28, 1986 a leak in the joints of one of two Solid Rocket Boosters attached to the Challenger orbiter caused the main liquid fuel tank to explode 73 seconds after launch, killing all 7 crew members. The Shuttle program was grounded for over two years, while NASA and its contractors worked to redesign the Solid Rocket Boosters and implement management reforms to increase safety. On September 29, 1988, the Shuttle successfully returned to flight. Through mid-1998, NASA has safely launched 65 Shuttle missions since the return to flight. These have included a wide variety of scientific and engineering missions. There are four Shuttle orbiters in NASA's fleet: Atlantis, Columbia, Discovery, and Endeavour.
