Answer The Space Shuttle is a rocket. By definition, a Rocket is a vehicle that burns gas that it carries with it. Where as, a jet airplane burns the oxygen from the air and is not a rocket. The Rocket when it is launched has a liquid fuel rocket engines at the back end of it. It also has two long, solid fuel rocket engines that separate after launch. But the space shuttle is pulled by a rocket.
the pressure from the the rocket's fuel thingy makes the rocket go up. pretty soon, the rocket is in space.
the first rocket was
to go to space
We travel by a space rocket!
oxygen is added from a separate tank

But the space shuttle is pulled by a rocket.
Because the oxidant and the fuel are kept on board the ship in separate tanks.
a rocket powers the space station into orbit
In 1969, the first rocket went to the moon. The name of the rocket that propelled them into space was the Saturn V rocket.

a rocket is how people get into and get stuff into space

simple rocket science...the fuel tank on a space shuttle carries it's own oxygen in a separate hull NEXT to the actual fuel (hydrogen) tank which allows the fuel to burn, as there is no oxygen in the vacuum of space, and fire, of course, needs plenty of oxygen...

The Space and Rocket Center is in Huntsville, Alabama.
