Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour.
The US Space shuttle have only launched from Florida. Russia had a space shuttle that was launched from there.
Space Shuttle Atlantis was one of NASA's space shuttles used for space missions, including servicing the Hubble Space Telescope and building the International Space Station. It flew its maiden voyage in 1985 and completed its final mission in 2011. Atlantis is now on display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida.
The duration that a shuttle stays in space can vary depending on its mission objectives. Some space shuttles may stay in space for a few days to a couple of weeks, while others, like the International Space Station, can have longer missions lasting several months.
The fuel supply of a space shuttle typically lasts for about 8.5 minutes after liftoff. During this time, the shuttle uses up the liquid hydrogen fuel and liquid oxygen fuel to power its main engines for the initial ascent phase before they are jettisoned.

Space Shuttle Challenger exploded just a few seconds into a flight in 1986. Space Shuttle Columbia exploded during its reentry in 2003.

No, there have been quite a few failures, two space shuttles having failed, plus Opollo 13 come immediately to mind.
Whatever can be negotiated for that amount such as a country, debt on a country, a large city, a fleet of aircraft carriers, an army, a few space shuttles, a space station.

Yes, there are shuttles that run between the casinos, but also, a few shuttles that make pickups at a few places in Memphis.
About 90 seconds to 2 minutes. The Shuttles were incredibly fast, achieving orbit within just a few minutes.
There are a few names for that. It could be a parade, a march past or a civil demonstration.

The Space Shuttles were originally built by the United Space Alliance, a team of contractors who built and assembled the Shuttles prior to delivery to NASA. After delivery, they were assembled for launch and space orbit at Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) prior to each launch. Each Shuttle after returning from orbit would go through a major systems check and key parts would be serviced and maintained prior to gearing up for the next launch. The process took months; a few weeks prior to launch, a Shuttle was lifted into place in the VAB, onto the crawler (a large pad that carried the Shuttle to the launch pads), adding the SRB's, payload into the cargo bay, and all its final systems checks. All pre-launch activities were handled at KSC; at Shuttle launch (T +1 on the mission clock) Shuttle mission control was handed over from KSC to the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
A few weeks have passed since then.
