No! The Earth we stand on is rotating, and if a rocket were to launch straight up and come right back down the Earth would have rotated to the right and the space craft would land to the west of the launch pad.

Approximately 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by Water. That leaves 30% for Land.
The space shuttle landed on Earth, so yes.
Snails will eat any soft leaves close to the ground.
Deserts cover 33% of the land surface on earth.
No. A meteorite is an object that has already come through the Earth's atmosphere from space. On the way down, they are called meteors. A space shuttle, whether above or below the atmosphere, would need to avoid meteors at all costs. Since meteors are just rocks on the way from space to Earth, a shuttle therefore could not travel to them. Two kinds of space objects that spacecraft "could" travel to are comets and asteroids. But the space shuttle is not the proper kind of vehicle for such explorations.
About 29.2 percent of the Earth's surface is land, 13.3 percent of which is at least somewhat arable. That leaves about 54.4 percent of the surface land that is at least somewhat inhospitable.
