What else can I help you with?
As the space shuttle orbits the Earth the shuttle and the astronauts accelerate towards the Earth with the same acceleration What effect does this create?
This is known as free fall or microgravity. In this state, astronauts and objects inside the shuttle experience a sensation of weightlessness because they are falling at the same rate as the shuttle around the Earth, creating the illusion of being in a state of weightlessness.
What was the fourth space shuttle?
The fourth space shuttle was Space Shuttle Atlantis, which was first launched on October 3, 1985. Atlantis flew a total of 33 missions before being retired in 2011.
What is the name of the space shuttle being used now?
The space shuttle currently being used for missions is SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft, which is used for transporting astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS) as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.
Will the Shuttle last forever?
The Space Shuttle is already being replaced, and will be retired in 2010.
How many space shuttles are built every year?
As of now, the space shuttle program has been retired and no new shuttles are being built. The last space shuttle was the Space Shuttle Atlantis, which retired in 2011. The focus has shifted towards developing new spacecraft for space exploration.
How things accelerate faster?
Things can accelerate faster by experiencing a larger force, reducing resistance or friction, or by being in a more favorable environment for acceleration, such as being in a vacuum. Additionally, reducing the mass of the object can also result in faster acceleration according to Newton's second law of motion, F=ma.

What examples does carlyle give of workers being replaced by machines?
the shuttle drops from the fingers of the weaver and falls into iron fingers that ply it faster
Why is the space shuttle program being decommissioned?
The Shuttle program is being decommissioned because they are too old. We are developing a replacement.
How do you know when work is being done and when its not?
The object may move against a force, for example be raised against gravity, or it may accelerate ie go faster, or it may get warmer for example by friction.
What is a sign that work is being done?
The object may move against a force, for example be raised against gravity, or it may accelerate ie go faster, or it may get warmer for example by friction.

How did NASA officials discover that the Space Shuttle Endeavour had a hydrogen leak?
The leak was discovered while the space shuttle was being fueled.
What are three things that make decay happen faster?
Moisture, warmth, and oxygen can all accelerate the decay process by providing favorable conditions for the growth of bacteria and fungi that break down organic matter.
What is the point to being a cat?
It is better than being a mouse, insect or worm.
How many flights can 1 shuttle make in its lifetime?
The space shuttle was built to be able to fly 100 times each before being retired. The space shuttle with the most flights is Discovery with 36
Why does a stone fall faster than a feather?
The difference is in the air resistance. Without air resistance, both will accelerate at the same rate. If there is air, in the case of the stone the ratio of surface area / weight is less than that of a feather. As a result, the stone will slow down less than the feather, and fall faster.
