Yes the main one which is the orange one and the side booster rockets that are white and there are two of them
The two white Solid Rocket boosters fall back into the sea and are re-used. The main engines are on the shuttle itself which of course is used many times.
NASA has experienced several rocket failures throughout its history, with notable incidents including the Apollo 1 fire, the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986, and the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003. In terms of rockets exploding during launch, there have been several launch failures, including the loss of the Delta II and Falcon 1 rockets. Overall, while NASA has faced numerous challenges, it has also achieved many successful missions and advancements in space exploration.
NASA has launched over 200 rockets since its establishment in 1958, including various types such as sounding rockets, expendable launch vehicles, and spacecraft launchers like the Space Shuttle. The exact number can vary depending on how one counts different missions and suborbital flights. Major launch vehicles include the Saturn V, Space Shuttle, and more recently, the Space Launch System (SLS). Each of these programs has contributed significantly to space exploration and research.
It had 9 missions before 1986 when It blew up 73 seconds after launch due to the failure of the o-rings around the booster rocket.

whats up
The two white Solid Rocket boosters fall back into the sea and are re-used. The main engines are on the shuttle itself which of course is used many times.
Primarily there are two types of fuels used in most rockets today. The space shuttle, at liftoff, uses both. Solid fuel and liquid fuel. Solid fuel rockets are much like the bottle rockets you can buy in a fireworks store. Once they are lit, the burn all of the fuel available and then burn out. The 2 white rockets on the side of the orange tank holding the space shuttle are Solid Rocket Boosters. The large orange tank that holds the space shuttle is full of liquid full that the shuttle uses as it lifts off into space. That fuel is actually liquid.

A space shuttle has over 1,000 buttons and swiches.
There were nine space shuttle flights in 1987.
upto 3-5 people are aloud on a space shuttle
Many rockets that go into space do carry humans, but, most rockets do not.
The exact number of space rockets that have experienced catastrophic failures or explosions varies, but historically, there have been over 50 notable incidents since the dawn of spaceflight in the 1950s. This includes both launch failures and in-flight explosions. Some of the most well-known incidents include the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986 and the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003. Overall, while space travel has become safer over the decades, it remains a complex and high-risk endeavor.
