Since the Shuttle at liftoff is traveling at 0 mph, and at orbit is traveling at 17,180 mph, a simple average would be [ (17,180+0) / 2 ] = 8,590 mph.
18,000 mph
The maximum speed the space shuttle can attain is about 30,000 K MPH in atmosphere.
First, the Moon is about 240,000 miles from Earth. Second, the Shuttle couldn't go there on a bet. If you are talking about an average speed of 12,000 miles an hour, then obviously the answer is 20 hours to go 240,000.
The shuttle uses the atmosphere to slow itself down from orbital speed.
It takes around eight minutes for a space shuttle to reach orbit after taking off. Its average speed upon take of is 17,500 mph.

No 1). Nothing can. 2). No space shuttle ever came anywhere close to that speed. 3). No space shuttle can travel at any speed now, because that program has ended, and the remaining shuttles are in museums.

All space shuttle vehicles orbit at a speed of 17,320 miles per hour.
Depends on your speed. The space shuttle can be in space in about 8 minutes.
It takes around eight minutes for a space shuttle to reach orbit after taking off. Its average speed upon take of is 17,500 mph.
