How does a space shuttle re-enter earths atmosphere?
When it is time for a space shuttle to return to earth it maneuvers itself into position and fires its engines to decelerate itself. Once it slows down a bit, gravity takes over and it starts to fall back to earth. As the shuttle hits the upper atmosphere it is slowed even further. The friction of the atmosphere against the bottom of the shuttle heats up the tiles causing the shuttle to glow. The shuttle goes through a series of maneuvers to slow it down even further until it reaches it final landing speed.
How does the Space Shuttle reenter the Earth's atmosphere?
The shuttle maneuvers itself and burns it's OMS engines. This causes the shuttle to slow down to a point where the earths gravity can pull it back to earth. As the shuttle enters the high earth atmosphere it is slowed down as the atmosphere hits the craft heating it up. The shuttle then performs a series of 'S' turns slowing it down even further, until it reaches its final approach speed for landing.

It is not considered a "meteor" until it enters the earth's atmosphere - therefore you can't really have a meteor in space. However, if you are talking an asteroid or meteroid then they are just rocks floating in space - not really a big deal unless one hits us or hits one of our satellites or spacecraft.
