the space shuttle weighed as much as roman
You have to overcome the force of gravity. So, if you're in the space shuttle which weighs 240,000 pounds at liftoff, you have to have enough force to overcome that weight.
150lbs. So it can be safely flown by a airplane.
A space shuttle typically uses about 1.5 million pounds of fuel during liftoff and ascent to reach orbit. In space, the shuttle relies on its orbital maneuvering system and reaction control system, which use smaller amounts of fuel for activities like adjusting its path and orientation in space.
The Space Shuttle weighed 74,843 kilograms empty.
The average cost of a space shuttle mission is $450 million
It has to overcome its' own weight and obtain a speed of 17,500 miles an hour to escape the Earths' gravitational pull. That is 3.38 x 1012 Joules. 3,380,000,000,000 joules.
