They could have inspected the wing for damage after they saw it hit by the foam. After they found the damage, they could have planned a rescue of some type.
If the space shuttle were a powered aircraft it would be able to land in the rain just fine. The problem with the rain isn't actually the rain, but the dense clouds that go with it. The space shuttle, while landing, is only a glider. It doesn't have the capability to 'go around' if there is a problem while it is approaching the landing site. NASA plays it safe and only lands the shuttle when the conditions are at their safest.
The space shuttle helped solve the challenge of cost-effective and reusable space transportation. It provided a way to transport crew and cargo to and from space, allowing for more frequent and affordable access to space compared to earlier single-use rocket designs.
The first space shuttle developed by NASA was the Space Shuttle Enterprise, which never flew in space and was used for atmospheric flight tests. The first space shuttle to reach space was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which launched on April 12, 1981.
There were 5. Space Shuttle Columbia (destroyed in 2003), Space Shuttle Challenger (destroyed in 1886), Space Shuttle Discovery, Space Shuttle Atlantis, and Space Shuttle Endeavour.
The name of the space shuttle was Challenger.
the dimensions of the first space shuttle are what they are that is the way that they were made so if you have a problem wiht that deal with it

the space shuttle challenger was kind of safe. the only problem was that it was a cold day and the O-rings broke because of the cold.
Space Shuttle Endeavour was the final Space Shuttle built. It was built to replace Space Shuttle Challenger.
