How much cargo can one shuttle carry?
Endouver has a max cargo capacity of 55,250 pounds in its 60 by 15 ft cargo bay. This is representative of all US Space Shuttle orbiters. Different orbiters have slightly different capacities, as some are heavier than others. External Tank types can also have an impact; some tanks are lighter than others. Lighter tanks can lift more weight.
Why is the observatory aboard the International Space Station able to provide a better view into space than is possible from any observatory on earth?
its not surrounded by thick atmospheres
Why is it advantageous for astronauts to live on a space station rather than in a space shuttle?

Is there more than one Space Shuttle?
Yes. There have been five separate Shuttle orbiters which actually travelled to space (and plenty of other test models):OV-104 Atlantis - to be retired in 2010 along with the STS programme.OV-099 Challenger - lost at launch, 1986.OV-102 Columbia - lost at re-entry, 2003.OV-103 Discovery - to be retired in 2010 along with the STS programme.OV-105 Endeavour - built from spare parts to replace Challenger. To be retired in 2010 along with the STS programme.
What is the same between space rockets and space shuttle?
a space shuttle is smaller than an space rocket.
Why are space shuttles better modes of tranportation than earlier rockets?
Unlike earlier rockets which used capsules to transport crew, space shuttle orbiters, their engines and solid rocket boosters are reusable. Only the external fuel tank is discarded during space shuttle missions

Why must some telescopes be launched into space?
They must be launched in to space because there is a better veiw in space than from earth.
Which is better dead space or Resident Evil?
To me its all about Dead Space hands down. Dead Space (compared to for example- Resident Evil 5) has better graphics better lighting for the right places and moments, better blood and gore, better death scenes, has a longer play time than it.
Why can solids support objects better than fluids?
because of its inner space is smaller than the one in liquids which leads to a better linked atoms
Is Better Lifestyle's iron board center a better space-saver than a door-mounted ironing board?
Better Lifestyle's iron board is a great space-saver than a typical door-mounted ironing board, and can still be borken out very quickly.
Why is the space shuttle more versatile than earlier spacecraft?
This is because we have better technology today that makes our spacecrafts more versatile. Also, our earlier trips to space have given us better understanding of how to improve in space.
Why is it better to observe the sky from space than from earth?
Earth has an atmosphere that gets in the way of us seeing everything that's out in space.
Why is it better to observe the universe from space than from the Earth's surface?
The earth's atmosphere interferes.
Why was it advantageous for the Voyager mission to consist of flybys rather than orbiters?
Because orbiters must slow down enough to enter orbit around a planet. This requires either very slow initial speeds with long transit times, or a large amount of fuel to slow down upon reaching the planet.

Why are two cooks better than one?
Two cooks are better than one because you can then get more things done at one time. (But of course you would need space for that) :-)
