For takeoff, it requires so much thrust to get it off the ground that if it used a regular runway, it would need something like 5 miles behind it to avoid damage. So they make it take off vertically to avoid that. A space shuttle lands on a regular (but slightly longer) runway just like a plane.

Why cant the space shuttle land in the rain?
If the space shuttle were a powered aircraft it would be able to land in the rain just fine. The problem with the rain isn't actually the rain, but the dense clouds that go with it. The space shuttle, while landing, is only a glider. It doesn't have the capability to 'go around' if there is a problem while it is approaching the landing site. NASA plays it safe and only lands the shuttle when the conditions are at their safest.

How do you make a fashion show in the Sims 2 H and M?
You cant really. You can only make a runway, then have ur sims put on clothes, and walk down the runway, then back again. You cant actually make them "strut their stuff." However, you can make several sims go down the runway and then back and add music and lights to make it look like a fasion show.
