Why are shuttles called shuttles?
The space shuttle is a reusable space vehicle; it goes into space and it comes back, and can be used again for futher missions into space. Whereas, previously space travel was done by rockets that could be used only once. The rockets would be used up after a single use. Shuttles, therefore, are the kind that can shuttle back and forth.
Why are space shuttles preferred over rockets?
Space shuttles are rockets, however they were intended to be mostly reusable while other rockets are totally disposable.However the space shuttle is no longer being used: the design is considered obsolete, equipment was aging and deteriorating faster than expected, and they were no longer considered safe to continue flying.
What happens to the space shuttles rocket boosters after they are jettisoned?
they come off the space shuttle and fall into the ocean and navy ships find them and bring them back to NASA
How do space shuttles launch?
they launch by giving them power and fire ANSWER Two Solid Rocket Boosters. It takes about two minutes for these rockets to get the Shuttle to about 47Km from earth. The Rockets are jettisoned and picked up to be reused.
What is the difference between space rockets and space shuttles?

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 was the fastest rocket speed?
The rocket that takes space shuttles into space recorded speeds f up to 40,000kmph. The space shuttles' rockets record up to 25,000kmph. There are also slower speed rockets.
What two fuels that rockets use and space shuttles?
Oxygen and hydrogen
What will rockets be used for in the future?

Disadvantages about space shuttles?
Rockets are expensive and it is not reusable..... okie?.... :)Fermianxsz! Mabuhay!!!! :))
