The solid rocket boosters are jettisoned as their fuel runs out. Their fall is slowed by parachutes and they are later recovered and returned to the Kennedy Space Center for refurbishing and reuse on later missions.
The space shuttle has never landed in the ocean. The Apollo capsule used to land in the ocean. The last Apollo flight was in 1972. The first space shuttle flight was in 1981.
The space shuttle is launched into Outer Space by having it attached to the rocket that launches up as well as the space shuttle and gradually the rocket falls apart and lands in the Pacific ocean. It often lands there. The space shuttle then continues its mission alone.
The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded over the Atlantic Ocean on January 28, 1986. All seven astronauts aboard the shuttle were killed.
The space shuttle Challenger launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. On its final launch, it was torn apart 73 seconds later over the Atlantic Ocean.
The pieces fell into the Altantic Ocean and some were recovered.
The Space Shuttle doesn't land in the ocean it lands on a runaway.

He returned to Earth in a space capsule that parachuted into the ocean, the capsule was then quickly recovered by the US Navy.

The Apollo capsule landed by parachute in the ocean. The shuttle lands like an airplane.
The pieces fell into the Altantic Ocean and some were recovered.
The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on January 28,1986. It disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean killing all seven Crew members.
The Solid Rocket Booster is detached and dropped after the first minute or two of flight. It may then be recovered and used again.
Firstly, the space shuttle does not not go to the moon. It remains in low-earth orbit. Also, it does not land in the ocean but makes an unpowered landing on a runway. The capsule of Challenger did sink after it fell into the ocean during its launch accident in 1986. The solid rocket boosters that fall from the shuttle during launch do float and are recovered. The Apollo command modules that did travel to the moon during the Apollo moon missions landed in the ocean and did float. Also, frogmen attached a flotation collar when they reached the capsule. The Space Shuttle never goes in the ocean. It lands at Kennedy Space Center in Florida or Edwards Air Force Base in California<br>The Space Shuttle has never been to the Moon.
