Why do objects burn up on reentry into earths atmosphere?
It's all down to friction from the Earth's atmosphere. The speed of the object falling - creates friction with the air around it. The heat generated by the is hot enough to melt metal - and most asteroids.
Does the space shuttle reuse the liguid-fuel tanks?
No. The large orange External Tank or ET as it is called is jettisoned at about the 8 minute mark of the flight and burns up in the earths atmosphere during its reentry.
Are any vehicles made to operate outside earths atmosphere?
Rocket ships are vehicles made to operate outside of Earth's atmosphere. Some of the lunar missions also had a lunar rover that was basically a car for the moon where there is no air to run an engine, so it was electrically powered.
