The space shuttle Discovery has flown the most times of all the space shuttle orbiters.
most of the time, a space shuttle is sent unmanned to space with the satellite on the top of the shuttle. Then they send the sattelite further into space for good precision on the Earth, or other planets.

The Space Shuttle was the first US spacecraft built to accommodate more than 3 astronauts. After the retirement of the Space Shuttle, most cargo is carried to the ISS by unmanned rockets.
Most space shuttle missions have been to the International Space Station. The correct term would be to dock at the station, not to land there (since it is not located on land, but is floating in space).
If we were to ask NASA what is the most difficult part of getting a shuttle into space, I believe the answer would be, getting the appropriation through Congress.
There are tiles on the entire space shuttle. Every square inch is covered in tiles. The nose, bottom and leading edges of the space shuttle have black tiles while the rest of the space shuttle has white tiles. The nose leading edges and the bottom of the shuttle are the portions of the shuttle that get the most friction/heat from the atmosphere during re-entry.
A space shuttle isn't a probe, because humans are able to fly it. Not only that, but a space probe is most likely NOT to have life-support systems aboard.
