Why was the NASA shuttle program shut down?
NASA is shutting down the space program because the ISS (international space station) will no further need any assistance. NASA also has completed it missions with the space shuttle program just like it is done with Apollo. But this does 100% mean that NASA is not shutting down. Their are many other missions that future astronaut's will discover. Such as the Constellation Program, and mission to Mars.

When did they shut down the NASA space shuttle program?
The last space shuttle mission was STS-135 (Space Transportation System 135) which landed at the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) (runway) of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida in the pre-dawn darkness hours of Thursday, July 21, 2011 (coincidentally, the day after the 42nd anniversary of the first Moon landing). Although this was the last space shuttle mission, the Space Shuttle Program (SSP), albeit drastically scaled back, continued in limited operation to allow for the decommissioning of the orbiters and their eventual transportation to museums for public display.

How does a space shuttel land on earth?
The Space Shuttle lands like a plane. First the space shuttle gets its landing trajectory and what AFB or Air Force Base to land at. The Space Shuttle can land at Cape Cod in Florida or at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The Space Shuttle then loops around the earth a few times and then turns around to face forward. Then the Space Shuttle goes into a De-Orbit Burn this is the approach to earth the Space Shuttle faces up ward at 60 degrees so the heat shield is facing down. The Space Shuttle is now flying at Mach 26 or 100,000 mph. Soon the Shuttle re enters the atmosphere producing the loud Double Boom while the shuttle flies over the pacific the US can often hear it. Soon the shuttle applies air brakes to slow down to Mach 2.5 or 2,500 mph. Then comes the next stage of approach the Shuttles Computers are shut down for landing as the Pilot lines up the Shuttle for the run way which is 22 at Edwards and 0 at Cape Cod the Shuttle makes one more Double Boom. Soon the Shuttle fly at the speed of a jet. Last comes the final landing the copilot calls out altitude and speed as the space Shuttle lines up jet escorts help the Shuttle land soon at about 2,000 ft the gear gets dropped down and the Space Shuttle lands at 250mph to slow down the Shuttle apply brakes a parachute and Air Brakes to stop on the Run Way steps help the Astronauts get out of the Shuttle. If the Shuttle lands at Edwards a modified Boeing 747 flys the Shuttle back to Florida.
Did Barack Obama shut down nasa?
No, not at all. President Obama didn't shut down NASA. He just asked them to shut down another voyage to the moon, since we have already been there. He asked them to focus on a future trip to Mars instead. NASA is alive and well and the space program is in no danger of being shut down.

If a shuttle was in space could it shut off its thrusters to remain at the same speed?
Absolutely. That's what being in orbit means. As long as the Shuttle remains in orbit it uses no power. When it wants to come back to Earth. It uses its rocket engines to slow down, the it falls back to earth.
