If for some reason right then and there a star imploded and made a black hole and the space shuttle met it's unlikely demise.
A: 1985 The space shuttle atlantis's first mission was sts-51-j.
The first space shuttle to explode during liftoff was the space shuttle Challengerin 1986. The second shuttle disaster occured on the 1st of Febuary 2003 to space shuttle Columbia. In boh disasters, 7 astronauts lost their lives.
If a space shuttle lost its forward motion in space, it would continue along its trajectory due to its velocity and inertia. However, without forward propulsion, it would eventually experience the effects of Earth's gravity and begin to fall towards the planet. Without corrective action or propulsion to counteract this, it would eventually re-enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up.
Endeavour was the fifth and final space shuttle to be built.
Ellison Onizuka was the first Asian American to "reach" space. He flew into space successfully with the Space Shuttle Discovery. He was killed during the mission as the Space Shuttle Challenger destructed.
Space Shuttle Columbia .

The Shuttle Challenger was the first space shuttle to have a major disaster. It disintegrated during the launch process on 28 January 1986, and all hands were lost.

If a space shuttle were to approach a black hole, the extreme gravitational pull would likely cause it to be stretched and ripped apart by tidal forces, a process known as spaghettification. As it enters the event horizon, it would be unable to escape and would inevitably be consumed by the black hole, with all information contained within the shuttle lost to the singularity.

The Space Shuttle Columbia was the very first Space Shuttle that was launch on April 12th 1981 at the Kennedy Space Center. At that time the crew of the first shuttle launch was only two crewmembers (Commnader John Young & Pilot Robert Crippen)
Kalpana Chawla was the Indo-American woman astronaut on board the space shuttle Atlantis. She was the first woman of Indian descent to go to space and tragically lost her life during the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003.
