The space shuttle only launches from Cape Kennedy space centre in Florida.
There are 2 launch pads there that shuttle can launch from 39A and 39B.
5 different space shuttles have been launched on 129 missions.
There have been two space shuttles that exploded during launch: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003.
As of September 2021, NASA does not have any shuttles left to launch. The Space Shuttle program was retired in 2011, with the final mission of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. NASA now relies on commercial partners and other space agencies for crewed missions to space.
No shuttles have blown up in space. The Challenger disintegrated after launch on Jan 28, 1986 and the Columbia disintegrated during re-entry on Feb 1, 2003. Both were in the earth's atmosphere when they disintegrated.
Two space shuttles have experienced catastrophic failures during launch: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003. Both tragedies resulted in the loss of all crew members aboard.

there is going to be one more shuttle launch.
I am firmly convinced that we have. I say this after recalling how many times it has been done.

Both rockets and space shuttles have been used for space travel. Rockets are typically used to launch spacecraft into orbit, while space shuttles are reusable spacecraft that can carry astronauts and cargo to and from space. Many astronauts have traveled in both rockets and space shuttles over the years.
4 Space Shuttles existed in 2011. Including the test vehicle, Space Shuttle Enterprise. Space Shuttles that actually went into space? 3. Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour.
Currently NASA have three space shuttles Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour.
none.
