What was the first space shuttle on the moon called?
Space Shuttles are designed only for Earth orbiting missions and none has ever gone to the moon. The first manned space craft to reach the moon (in 1969) was an Apollo program Lunar Lander called Eagle.
Smallest space shuttle?
The smallest space shuttle ever built is the Enterprise prototype, which was part of the NASA Space Shuttle program in the 1970s. The Enterprise did not have engines or a functional heat shield, and it was used for testing atmospheric flight and landing procedures only.
What are some facts about space shuttles?
Space shuttles were reusable spacecraft used by NASA for human spaceflight missions. They were in operation from 1981 to 2011 and were used to deploy satellites, conduct experiments in microgravity, and service the International Space Station. The space shuttle Columbia was the first shuttle to ever launch into space on April 12, 1981.
Why were some space shuttles called Apollo?
No space shuttle was ever called Apollo. Apollo was the name of the 3rd American space program. The number one objective of the Apollo program was to send man to the surface of the moon and return him safely to Earth, before the end of the 60's. Five shuttles were built for orbital flight: Columbia, Discovery, Challenger, Atlantis and Endeavour. Columbia and Chanllenger both exploded for different reasons killing all 7 astronauts aboard each time. Two other shuttles were built for tests: Pathfinder and Enterprise. There are also Russian space shuttles Buran and Pitchka (Pitchka was 97% complet when the project was cancelled).
What was the last space shuttle ever built?
Space Shuttle Endeavour was the final Space Shuttle built. It was built to replace Space Shuttle Challenger.

Did the space shuttle ever land on the moon?
No. The space shuttle is built for low Earth orbit, not moon landings.
Has the moon ever been hit by a space shuttle?
No, the moon has never been hit by a space shuttle. Space shuttles were used for missions in low Earth orbit and never traveled far enough to reach the moon.
Was there a double space shuttle launch?
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.
WHO IS THE WORLDS YOUNGEST PERSON TO BUILD A SPACE ROCKET?
I don't think that ANY individual person has ever built a space rocket. Such rockets are built by teams of people, not by individuals.
Can a space shuttle travel faster than the speed of light?
No 1). Nothing can. 2). No space shuttle ever came anywhere close to that speed. 3). No space shuttle can travel at any speed now, because that program has ended, and the remaining shuttles are in museums.
