apollo 11
How many times did John Glen orbit the Earth?
John Glenn orbited the Earth three times in the Friendship 7 craft. Of course, he also orbited Earth in the shuttle Discovery on the nine-day mission STS-95.
At what altitude does the shuttle orbit Earth?
The Space Shuttle typically orbited the Earth at an altitude of about 150 to 400 miles (240 to 640 kilometers).

Why would your weight would change if you orbited the earth in the space shuttle but your mass would not?
Mass is the amount of material that you are comprised of, whereas weight is how heavy that mass is in the level of gravity where it resides.

Is the weight of the space shuttle the same on earth as it is in space?
Its mass is the same(ignoring spent fuel) but the weight is a result of the gravitational pull, which is different in space. Actually the space shuttle never gets far enough from the earth for it's weight to change. The reason it seems weightless is because it is in free-fall.
