It's high enough into space and far enough away over the Atlantic Ocean by that time that the cameras can't see it. You can see launch video but space isn't a hard boundary. Oftentimes the astronauts' shades might be closed due to sunlight because they don't have to see what's outside on the way up.
NASA says space begins at 122 kilometers (76 miles). This specific number is the approximate boundary where the atmosphere begins to exert noticeable drag on an object so it's based on a scientific fact.
The USA says space begins at 80 kilometers (50 miles) and says anyone who passes this altitude is an astronaut.
Thus, there's no clear cut determination of where space really begins. The atmosphere extends much farther than 76 miles and fades away.

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 much did the discovery space shuttle cost to build?
Probably, people cant tell because it took a lot of steps and a lot of things that people can not tell. It is beyond the human bounds to tell. Even if the person who invented, i think can not tell.
