How do space shuttles enter and exit space?
When a space shuttle takes off, it gathers momentum and burns fuel to get higher. Once the huge rocket that the space shuttle rides on is out of fuel, it falls off. The shuttle continues on alone into space. To get back into the atmosphere, careful calculations are done. The shuttle must come in at just the right angle or else it will burn up or bounce off of the atmosphere and be gone forever. The space shuttle slices into the atmosphere and begins gliding like a paper airplane at incredible speeds. A computer controls the shuttle and lands it on a runway that is a mile wide and several miles long. It lands like a normal airplane and everyone arrives safely.
