It didn't. The Space Shuttle is only a low Earth orbit spacecraft.
With the Russians launch of sputnik, it awewd and worried the rest of the world. The US espeacially because if they could lauch a rocket into space then could they lauch nuclear weapons at us. so the race for being the country with the best advancements was on to have an advatage over everyone else so that if it came to war they would be prepared.
Lauch pads aren't essential for take off. All a rocket needs to take off is thrust. If, by "rockets", you're referring to a propelled projectile, then rockets with no guidance capabilities need the lauch pad to establish a trajectory. In space, it's a different ballgame. With practically no gravity, a rocket launched from a launch pad similar to one here on Earth would also be lauched. With a lauch pad on Earth, the Earth mass keeps it from travelling in the opposite direction. A lauch pad in space would need thrust of its own to maintain position during a launch. Visit NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) site at http://www.jpl.nasa.gov for mind-blowing information on this and other space topics. They've got some cool toys there, too.
None. All three members of the flight crew died during flash fire during a test on the lauch pad.
