Best Answer

A spacecraft is a general name for a vehicle that can be launched into space.

The space shuttles are a particular type of NASA spacecraft used for the Space Transportation System programme to move people, supplies and parts into space and back again.

Also the reason why spacecrafts are more versatile than a spacecraft is that a space shuttle allows a living organism to live in space for a long period of time. While the spacecraft orbits around the earth several times and then comes back down to earth.
