the space shuttle travels vertically and the plane horizontally
no an airplane cant go into space whereas a space shuttle can. they're made differently
So it can glide back to earth and land like and airplane.
The STS or Space Shuttle uses a glide recovery system (like an airplane) to return and land on the ground. In the end, it is assisted by a parachute (only to decrease the speed of the shuttle at landing.)When given the command from Houston, it will slam into Earth's atmosphere. This will create enough friction between the Space Shuttle and Earth's atmosphere to heat the Shuttle's belly to 3,000+ F. The Shuttle will then glide to it's landing runway in either California or Florida, and land like an airplane.
The power needed by the space shuttle when traveling through space varies depending on the phase of the mission. During launch, the main engines produce about 37 million horsepower. Once in space, the shuttle relies on solar panels or fuel cells for power to run its systems and perform maneuvers.
Because of the enormous amount of friction between Earth's atmosphere and the Space Shuttle.

The Apollo capsule landed by parachute in the ocean. The shuttle lands like an airplane.
i dont know it is the vertical stabalizer

The space shuttle Is a type of rocket that lands like an airplane.
It exploded in the air due to a hole in the shuttle. Scientists later found that they were travelling in space with a hole in it.

it is answred by they look the same and but the shuttle is alot smaller than the other object
