Yes, they were specially designed for that reason.
Yes
Why is it advantageous for astronauts to live on a space station rather than in a space shuttle
Discovery is NASA's oldest space shuttle and it has been in flight for more than 25 years. Currently, it has traveled 148,221,675 miles.
The space shuttle is NASA's space transportation system, designed to carry astronauts and cargo to and from Earth orbit. The first space shuttle flight took place in 1981. The space shuttle fleet is scheduled to be retired in 2011. When the shuttle program ends, the space shuttle will have been launched on more than 130 missions. :):):):):)
The most complex machine ever built, the space shuttle has more than 2.5 million parts, including almost 370 kilometers (230 miles) of wire, more than 1,060 plumbing valves and connections, over 1,440 circuit breakers, and more than 27,000 insulating tiles and thermal blankets.
Yes
More than 20,000 tiles fit on a space shuttle.
The Space Shuttle was the first US spacecraft built to accommodate more than 3 astronauts. After the retirement of the Space Shuttle, most cargo is carried to the ISS by unmanned rockets.
The highest horsepower ever recorded came from the blastoff of the space shuttle. The space shuttle created more than 60,000 horsepower.

Space Shuttle Challenger and Space Shuttle Endeavor.
they are more powerful than the ones in a plane and a jet pack as they need to lift a 2 tonne space shuttle off and out of earths atmosphere

the benifets are that it has more space and more fule than the apolo and it gives astronauts a chance to bring whole sattilites
yes it was to have fun and to research science.
