Which countries have a space shuttle?

Did Yuri gargin go in the space shuttle by himself?
No. Yuri Gagarin never flew in the Space Shuttle at all. He was a Soviet Cosmonaut and was the first man in space. The craft he flew was a Vostok Capsule, the Soviet one-man craft that was used for their first two space flights. The Space Shuttle is an American space craft and didn't fly until 1981, just over 20 years after Gagarin's flight and 13 years after his death during a training flight in 1968. The Soviets did eventually build their own version of the Shuttle, calling it the Buran. It flew only once, unmanned, in 1988, just before the collapse of the USSR. It was seriously damaged in 2002 when the hanger it was stored in collapsed during reconstruction.

The space shuttle program is a fantastic way of achieving answers to some of the biggest questions in science. YES: * Many people feel that the money should be spent on more pressing issues, such as of course, health and poverty. Some may argue that we are able to fly to the Moon, but can't avert crises on our front door. * The space shuttle program has wasted vast sums of public money.
