There are 5 Space Shuttles. Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour look exactly the same except for their names. Columbia's tip of it's rear stabilizer and wings are black.
Space shuttles
Space shuttles and space stations are similar in that they are both used for space exploration and research. However, space shuttles are spacecraft designed for transport between Earth and space, while space stations are large structures designed for long-term habitation in space by astronauts. Additionally, space shuttles can return to Earth, while space stations remain in orbit.
The main difference between space shuttles and other space vehicles is that space shuttles are reusable spacecraft that can carry astronauts and cargo to space and return to Earth like an airplane, while other space vehicles are usually one-time use rockets that are not designed to be reused. Space shuttles also have the ability to perform missions in space and return to Earth multiple times.
5 NASA Shuttles have been into space. Of those 5 shuttles, 2 were unfortunately destroyed. There has been a total of 135 Space missions using the space shuttle between the years 1980 and 2011 :)
Space shuttles are called shuttles because they are designed to transport astronauts and cargo between Earth and space in a back-and-forth manner, resembling the shuttle-like movements. They can "shuttle" back and forth multiple times, unlike one-time-use rockets.
both travle to space
space shuttles were made to be reusable, rockets were used only once
Space shuttles
All of the space shuttles were built basically the same. The only real difference between the Endeavor and the Columbia was that the Columbia was a little heavier than the Endeavor. There may have also been some different technology on each one since it changed so rapidly.

NASA space shuttles
The space shuttle lands like a plane and is reusable.
Space shuttles use energy, not make it
Stations are built in space; Shuttles use rocket boosters.
no place, nobody has space shuttles anymore
It is not expected that the Space Shuttles will fly again.
