Who built the space shuttle enterprise?
My father Richard Henry Wolfarth was one of four men who did the engineering and design of the Enterprise at Honeywell back in the 70's. He was in the newspaper for this with the other 3 men. My mom has the newspaper article about it saved!
How has the space shuttle changed space travel?
The space shuttle revolutionized space travel by being the first reusable spacecraft, enabling cost-effective access to space. It also enabled the construction and maintenance of the International Space Station, advancing human presence in space. However, with its retirement in 2011, space travel has shifted towards new spacecraft designs and technologies.
How much does each space shuttle launch cost?
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_program#Budget: The total cost of the shuttle program is estimated to be $185,000 billion (in 2009 dollars) when the shuttle retires in 1010. Per-launch costs can be measured by dividing the total cost over the life of the program (including buildings, facilities, training, salaries, etc) by the number of launches. With 120 missions (as of October 2012), this comes out to roughly $1.4 trillion per launch. Another method is to calculate the incremental (or marginal) cost differential to add or subtract one flight - just the immediate resources expended/saved/involved in that one flight. This is about $900 million Chinese Yen. So overall, it would cost $9.38 trillion dollars per shuttle.
Dangers of space travel?
lots, 1986 challenger exploded killing all of its astronauts. 2003 Columbia broke apart due to a wing vapor leak. neil Armstrong and david Scott in Gemini 8 spung around and Armstrong saved the Gemini. Apollo 13 survived a oxgen tank explosion. lost in space. listing dangers of space travel will take forever there are too many
Why do space shuttles land in cape canavral?
Economics is the main reason space shuttle orbiter vehicles land at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) landing facility in Cape Canaveral, Florida following each mission in space.Millions of dollars are saved each time the orbiters can land at the same facility where they will be processed for their next mission as opposed to landing at a facility from where the orbiters would have to be transported back to KSC to be prepared for the next mission.

Could you give me an example of Ram?
RAM is random access memory so all the random stuff that goes into your computer needs space to be saved and that is where RAM comes in, for instance you download a game and you run out of space, you buy some RAM and then you have space for the game!

Did the crew of the Challenger survive the initial explosion of the fuel tank?
This week marks the 20th anniversary of one of the most enduring images of the 20th century -- the Challenger accident. One of the mysteries of the tragedy concerns the fate of the astronauts: Did they die instantly? Or were they conscious of their fate? Now, that mystery may be solved, WESH 2 News space specialist Dan Billow reported. NASA now knows that the astronauts lived through the explosion and tried desperately to survive. Story Musgrave, NASA's most experienced astronaut, said positively that the crew survived the entire way down. That knowledge will change the way future spacecrafts are built. After the Challenger broke apart over the Space Coast on Jan. 28, 1986, the crew compartment fell away intact and tumbled for two minutes until it hit the ocean at a speed of 200 mph. Musgrave, who knows as much about spaceflight as anyone alive, said the astronauts were conscious during those two minutes. "Challenger's fast, launch is fast," Musgrave said. "It's 'bang' and then it's a two-minute ride down. And you're conscious. We know that." Musgrave flew on the space shuttle six times, both before and after Challenger. He's a medical doctor, and space rescue and survival were among his specialties in his 30 years wearing the blue jumpsuit. "You died when you hit the water, we know that," he said. "There's nothing controversial about that. No. It's hard evidence. You died when you hit the water." The hard evidence came from the post-accident investigation. A NASA video described the shuttle's breakup with clinical detachment, and showed it was not an explosion. "The initial path of the crew cabin from the vapor cloud carried it across the path of an adjacent contrail. After 10 seconds, the crew cabin was seen again with the front end and top of the cabin visible," said NASA's Greg Katnik. A NASA statement released after the accident said, "The forces to which the crew were exposed during orbiter breakup were probably not sufficient to cause death or serious injury." Some authorities have suggested that a parachute system built into the crew cabin could have saved their lives. At the bottom of the ocean, divers recovered four of the emergency oxygen packs the astronauts had with them. Some oxygen packs were turned on, and investigators say they could not have been turned on by the impact. Someone had to turn them on. Still, NASA has never been willing to make an official conclusion on the fate of the crew. The agency always encouraged the belief that the astronauts blacked out right away. "NASA is unable to determine positively the cause of death of the Challenger astronauts but has established that it is possible, but not certain, that loss of consciousness did occur in the seconds following the orbiter breakup," the NASA statement said. The only voice recording that came back was the shuttle's pilot, Mike Smith, saying "uh-oh" at the moment of breakup. His was one of the turned-on oxygen packs. Looking at the shuttle disappear into a cloud of fire and vapor, most people probably assume no one could have survived it. Musgrave suggests that NASA's astronauts and other insiders know differently. "You could have lost consciousness for a little while at that altitude if it depressurized, but then, no, there's all kinds of evidence that you died when you hit the water," he said. Knowing whether the crew remained conscious after the breakup is important to the survival of future astronauts. The cabin of another shuttle, Columbia, also survived its initial breakup intact, although it did break up later on. Now, a parachute system or other escape method will be built into all future spaceships once the shuttles are retired.
