They fall to Earth, hopefully into the sea, where they are picked up and removed.

What happens to the space shuttles rockets booster after they are jettisioned?

After being jettisoned, the space shuttle's solid rocket boosters parachute back to Earth and land in the ocean. They are then retrieved by teams who tow them back to be refurbished and reused for future missions.


Are rockets faster than space shuttles?

yes


Did anyone travel in space in a rocket or did all space travel occur in space shuttles?

Both rockets and space shuttles have been used for space travel. Rockets are typically used to launch spacecraft into orbit, while space shuttles are reusable spacecraft that can carry astronauts and cargo to and from space. Many astronauts have traveled in both rockets and space shuttles over the years.


What is difference between a rocket and space shuttles?

Rockets are vehicles designed to propel themselves into space by expelling exhaust gases at high speed, typically using a single-stage or multi-stage design. Space shuttles, on the other hand, are a specific type of spacecraft that combine both rocket and glider elements; they are designed to carry astronauts and cargo to and from orbit while being reusable. While rockets can be used solely for launching payloads, space shuttles have the capability to return to Earth and land like an airplane. Essentially, all space shuttles are rockets, but not all rockets are space shuttles.

challenger, it exploded in 2002 when one of the rockets malfunccioned & challenger blewup

How do rockets help us?

Rockets, help us today because they can take us to space which is miles away from Earth. We don't use space shuttles today because they use up all their gas really quickly and it takes a long time to get to space by space shuttles so instead of space shuttles we have rockets that help us today to get to space.
