5 different space shuttles have been launched on 129 missions.
The first space shuttle, Columbia, was launched from Kennedy Space Center located in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Kennedy Space Center has been the primary launch site for all U.S. human spaceflights since the early 1960s.
All Space Shuttles have been launched from Cape Kennedy, Florida. Kennedy Space Center has been the launch site for every U.S. human space flight since 1968.
There are a limited number of space shuttle launch sites around the world. Historically, the main locations for space shuttle launches have been Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA and Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Nowadays, with advancements in space technology, private companies like SpaceX have multiple launch sites around the world.
There have been two space shuttles that exploded during launch: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003.
The space shuttle used to be launched from Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. However, the space shuttle program has been retired, and spacecraft are now launched from various locations, such as the SpaceX launch site at Kennedy Space Center, as well as other private and government launch facilities around the world.
From 1981 through 2009, Space Shuttles launched from Cape Canaveral, FL on the east coast. All of the surviving space shuttles have been retired to various museums.

Unfortunately, the Space Shuttle Program Has Been Retired, and All Remaining Shuttles Converted Into Museum Exhibits. There Are No Longer Any Space Shuttle Launches.
No. There has never been a double space shuttle launch. The closest NASA ever came to this was scheduled for May of 1986 when 2 planetary probes were to be launched from shuttles in the same week. However, NASA has had 2 space shuttles out on the launch pads at the same time several times. First in late 1985/early 1986, and the last in 2009.
I am firmly convinced that we have. I say this after recalling how many times it has been done.
The US Space shuttle have only launched from Florida. Russia had a space shuttle that was launched from there.
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.
Around 7-12 shuttles have been to space.
