They're operated by the use of propulsion devices specially developed for the

manned space program, in the form of packages that store electrical energy,

called "batteries", and devices mounted to the wheels which convert the stored

electrical energy into mechanical energy, code-named "motors".

Is the Space Shuttle an airplane?

No, the Space Shuttle is not an airplane in the classic sense. The Shuttle cannot "fly" from place to place like an airplane -- it must be carried from place to place on Earth on the back of an airplane. By the classic definition, an airplane is craft that uses power (engines) to push or pull it through the air while using the "lift" created on the wings to keep it aloft (in the air). The Shuttle uses power during launch, but like a rocket, pushing it up -- the wings are not used to keep it aloft. During reentry power is not pushing it through the air, it is sailing through the air (using the lift on its wings) like a big glider. So, at no time is the Shuttle being pushed through the air while using its wings for lift.

Can humans survive in space with only and oxygen mask?

No. Humans need more than just a supply of oxygen to maintain life in space. Because there is gravity on Earth, we are accustomed to this, and maintain our "shape" with the pressure of gravity, but if we went to space where there is no gravity, we would actually, explode. Because we are used to the pressure of gravity, our bodies are actually pushing out to keep shape, but once there is nothing pushing in, and we're pushing out, we explode.
