It depends on the conditions of the space shuttle and how well it is maintained. Space shuttle discovery went on 39 missions to space
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.
The first space shuttle developed by NASA was the Space Shuttle Enterprise, which never flew in space and was used for atmospheric flight tests. The first space shuttle to reach space was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which launched on April 12, 1981.
Space Shuttle Enterprise did not fly in space, it was only a mock-up used for aerodynamics and gliding tests.
Yes, the space shuttle was a spacecraft used by NASA to send astronauts and cargo into space. The space shuttle program ended in 2011. Today, different spacecraft, such as SpaceX's Crew Dragon and Boeing's Starliner, are used to transport astronauts to space.
The space shuttle has never been to the moon. The space shuttle program was primarily used for low Earth orbit missions, such as deploying satellites and conducting research on the International Space Station. NASA's Apollo program was responsible for sending astronauts to the moon.
Yes. All space shuttle orbiters have been used multiple times. Space Shuttle Discovery has launched on 36 missions as of March 2009 and is scheduled for a total of 39 missions before the program is retired.
A rocket is meant to be used once; a space shuttle is used multiple times.

UUUHH...it's called a "space shuttle" main engine...why do you think?

thermal insulation materials that were used on the space shuttle
The Space Shuttle was a reusable spacecraft developed by NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program. It was used for a variety of missions including launches into low Earth orbit and repair and maintenance of the Hubble Space Telescope. The Space Shuttle was retired in 2011 and no longer in use. None of the Space Shuttles broke in space.
to go to outer space
it is used to take astronauts and cargo into space
