How fast can a spaceship go without wasting tons of fuel?
The space shuttle normally reaches 17,500 mph to go into orbit.
In space what kind of fuel is used by space shuttle?
The fuel is monomethylhydrazine(MMT) and the oxidizer is N2O4.
What type of fuel does the space shuttle need?
It uses rocket fuel
How can a rocket burn its fuel in space?
Since there is no air in space, the spacecraft must bring an 'oxidizer' with it into space. That oxidizer mixes with the fuel, providing the oxygen needed for it to burn, and it burns..
Do rockets use fuel in space?

Why do space vehicles use rocket fuel instead of regular fuel like a car?

Faster object in space or on earth?
Objects that are "stationary" on Earth's surface are moving faster nearer the equator. The eastward motion of the rotating Earth is greatest at the equator (about 1037 mph or 1670 kph).
How does the space shuttle carry enough fuel for a mission?
The space shuttle uses liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel. Generally a sufficient quantity of fuel is carried but if need be re-fuelling can be done in space.
