Is a space station the same as a space shuttle?
No. A space station stays in space, a shuttle goes back and forth between the station and the Earth.
How does the space shuttle differ from earlier spacecraft?
I remember when the original space shuttle system was being proposed by NASA, it was supposed to be a two spacecraft type reusable system that would dramatically reduce the costs of putting both satellites and men in space. The original two spacecraft types in the system were:Space Shuttle: to launch men and payloads into low earth orbit and return them.Orbital Transfer Vehicle: manned vehicle parked in orbit after initial launch to carry payloads back and forth between low earth orbit and any desired higher orbit up to geosynchronous orbit.This system would allow for placing satellites in any orbit, returning them for maintenance or repair at the shuttle or in the factory back on earth, then placing them back in orbit.Congress immediately killed the second half of the system, to save costs, the half of the system that was really the whole purpose for having any of the system at all.The key difference between the shuttle system and earlier spacecraft was reusability, as many components as possible were to be reusable as much as possible; all earlier spacecraft every component was one time use throwaway. The new space shuttle replacement goes back to everything is one time use throwaway.

How are spacecraft like Mars Orbiter instantly controlled from Earth?
They aren't controlled instantaneously. We still rely on radio waves, and they take a little time to get back and forth from Mars. Depending on where we are relative to Mars, it can take anywhere from 3 to 20 minutes for radio communications to make a one-way trip.
Who traveled back and forth between the living and dead in ancient Egypt?
The Egyptian Priests would holds ceremonies with incense and gold to honour the dead. They would often be held in the entrance of the Pyramids, where hundreds of people would audience. In these ceremonies, they would 'communicate with the dead' Pharaohs, allowing them to 'speak' with them. They did not necessarily 'travel back and forth between the living and the dead', as that possibility is quite incapable, only communication was celebrated.
