The two forces acting on a space shuttle during take off and throughout its ascent through the atmosphere are Thrust and Weight. Moreover, there is also a drag force in the direction of the weight, i.e., opposite to the motion of the space shuttle.
Hope that's what you were looking for. :)

Why the US space shuttles were built?
The US space shuttles were built to take astronauts into space and build the International Space Station.
How many space shuttles have exploded at take off or re entry?
2
How much time does it take for a space shuttle to get to the moon?
Space shuttles were built for low earth orbit. Not to goto the moon
Which forces are acting on a rocket in take off?
Air resistance and gravity and forces
What tools are used to explore space?
Tools such as satellites, space shuttles, and telescopes are used to explore space. Satellites take photos of certain objects in space depending on the mission. Obviously, space shuttles contain humans that are sent on a mission to explore certain object in space. Telescopes are used from Earth.

How has the space shuttle revolutionised space travel?
Yes! As far as space travel goes, Shuttles are basically our only way, at the moment, to travel far distances in the endless reaches of space. Apart from rockets which take take us from earth into space, and carry the heavy loads, shuttles are what are used mainly.
How do rockets help us?
Rockets, help us today because they can take us to space which is miles away from Earth. We don't use space shuttles today because they use up all their gas really quickly and it takes a long time to get to space by space shuttles so instead of space shuttles we have rockets that help us today to get to space.

What are five Space Shuttles that crashed?
None crashed they broke apart and there were only two Space Shuttles that did so. Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart on take-off over the Atlantic Ocean in 1986 and Space Shuttle Columbia broke apart on re-entry over East Texas in 2003.
