During the launch and re-entry of the Space Shuttle, the Astronauts must wear the large bulky gloves that are part of their space suits. The controls and switches are made larger so that they are easier to use while wearing those golves.

How do they get a space station into space?

Getting a space station in space is just like a construction site on Earth. the only thing different is you have to get the parts up into space with a shuttle. In the shuttle, there is a big loading dock to put parts in. This is right behind the cockpit. Its sort of like a pickup truck that will go to space. Then, when you get up there, you start to build onto the amount of parts that you piece together. This is done (most likely) in a long span of time because it costs approximately $10,000 to send a pound into space.


How does a shuttle get into space?

A shuttle, like the Space Shuttle, gets into space by being launched into the atmosphere with the help of powerful rockets. The rockets provide the necessary thrust and speed to overcome Earth's gravity and carry the shuttle into orbit around the planet. Once in orbit, the shuttle can maneuver and travel to its destination in space.
