What makes it necessary for us to use a space shuttle to get through the thermosphere?

Many aircraft can not fly the speed it needs to break through the thermosphere. Airplanes also don't have the proper heat resistance needed to keep the crew safe during flight.

How Spaceships or Rockets apply brake in Space?
an upthrust is created by the shuttle wch makes the shuttle go in the diraction opposite to the direction of landing and thus makes the shuttle slow down its speed and shuttle lands
What makes the space shuttle different from other rockets?
Reusability.
What does a space shuttle sound like in space?
There is no air in space and because of that, the noise it makes can not transmit elsewhere. The sound it makes is well noticeable inside the craft though. Sound moves through the materials the shuttle is built from and then it starts transmitting these sounds into the air on board, and this noise is very well audible. I am sorry to say, but I can not explain the sound it actually makes. maybe there is something on Nasa homepage regarding this.
How did the space shuttle help life on earth?
It makes us know if there is a meteor coming or to where the earth is.
What makes the space shuttle such a complex piece of machinery?
The Space Shuttle was the first and only reusable manned vehicle to date, could land on a runway, haul astronauts and cargo at the same time, and service and construct space stations.
What are the two characteristics of the thermosphere that makes it necessary for us to use a space shuttle to get through it?
Thermosphere is the atmosphere's outermost layer with a very thin air and no definite outer limit. The reason why a space shuttle gets through it is because shuttle orbiters used ceramic tiles and heat protection.

Who makes a flying model of the space shuttle?
Almost every large manufacturer makes space shuttle models. There are snap-together kits as well as tradtional kits available.
How does bearded dragon have shuttle?
Your question makes no sense ! Try re-phrasing it and submit it again. What exactly do you mean by 'shuttle' ?

What is the circular path the shuttle makes in space?
low-orbit (satellite)
What makes a space shuttle lift off from earth?
power pure power
Who makes the largest model kit of the space shuttle you can buy?
One of the largest model kits of the space shuttle that you can buy is the Space Shuttle Model Kit inspired by Nasa , it has 143 pieces and is a great product to build with .
What facts about the thermosphere?
The thermosphere is the closest atmosphere in the whole universe.Its where the weather is made.You cant touch it.Its invisible...#1 The thermosphere is located between the mesosphere and the exosphere.#2 The mesosphere and the thermosphere make up the ionosphere#3 The biggest layer in our atmosphere#4 Space shuttle is the only object that makes it up in the layer#5 the air is very thin#6 small amount of energy can cause a large change in temperaturesThe thermosphere ranges from 80- about 10,000 km above sea level. There is no definite limit to the thermosphere, however there is a point about halfway to the moon in which the molecules are no longer affected by Earth's gravitational pull, so the molecules shoot out theoretically anywhere in the universe. The thermosphere is also the hottest layer because the suns rays hit this layer directly, not having to pass through the atmosphere. Although it is the hottest, a thermometer would not be able to detect its heat because the molecules are too far spread out. The thermosphere is divided into two parts: the ionosphere and the exosphere. The ionosphere consists of ions that reflect radio waves, giving this layer its name. It ranges from 80-550 km. Through a series of events too in depth to go into right now, the ionosphere creates a magnificent display of lights called the aurora borealis, or northern lights. The exosphere ranges from 550- about 10,000 km, explained above. This layer does not really affect us other than the fact that satellites orbit Earth within it.The thermosphere is the fourth layer of the Earth's atmosphere and is located above the mesosphere. The air is really thin in the thermosphere. A small change in energy can cause a large change in temperature. That's why the temperature is very sensitive to solar activity. When the sun is active, the thermosphere can heat up to 1,500°C or higher! The Earth's thermosphere also includes the region of the atmosphere called the ionosphere. The ionosphere is a region of the atmosphere that is filled with charged particles. The high temperatures in the thermosphere can cause molecules to ionize. This is why an ionosphere and thermosphere can overlap.Very cold Extends 45 ft 23 miles from Jupiterits the hottest layer of earth..........it is the 4th layerit contains the inospherethe biggest layer of all 5
