Why is the space shuttle more different than any space veichal?
The space shuttle was the first reusable spacecraft. After it returns to earth it can be turned around and made ready to fly in just a few weeks.
How did the space shuttle different from earlier spacecraft?
The space shuttle is reusable, capable of returning cargo to earth and has room for a crew of 7 people. The spacecraft was not reusable, only had room for 3 astronauts and did not have space for large cargo.
What travels in deep space gathers information and returns to earth?
Spacecraft like the Voyager.
What is a spacecraft that collects data in space but carries no humans?
what spacecraft does not carry humans it gathers data about objects in slace and sends information to Earth
What would happen if the earth had no rare earth metals?
In modern time: NASA would probably triple their efforts to build reusable spacecraft that can land on earth, And search and collect rarer metals (likely from asteroids).
What is a space shuttle and how does it differ from other spacecraft?
The major difference between a spacecraft and a space shuttle is that the other spacecrafts can not be reused once the do return to the earth with the astronauts. But the shuttle is launched lime a rocket, flys like a plane and lands like a plane on a runway, it is always reusable.
What makes space shuttles different from other spacecraft's?
What makes the space shuttles different than other space craft is that they are reusable. Most spacecraft are used one time, then disposed of. The Russian Soyuz and the American Apollo spacecraft are examples of this. Another difference is the way they return to Earth. After other spacecraft reenter Earth's atmosphere, they deploy parachutes and make water landings (US Apollo), or land in snow (Russian Soyuz). The space shuttle lands like an airplane.
Why is the space shuttle program different?
The Space Shuttle is a partially reusable system that goes only into Earth orbit and returns. The Apollo vehicle was not reusable and left Earth orbit to visit the moon. The Apollo was launched entirely with liquid fuel rockets. The Space Shuttle is launched with a combination of solid and liquid fuel rockets.

If a spacecraft travels from earth to the edge of the solar system what will happen to the gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft?
The gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft will become insignificant.
