What is the highest rate of acceleration of the space shuttle?
The shuttle carries passengers (pilots and other astronauts) and therefore its acceleration is kept around 3g so as not to cause undue stress to those on board.The shuttle reaches a speed of approx 17,500 mphin order to attain low earth orbit, it uses its solid fuel rocket booster to achieve this. The shuttles theoretical top speed is higher at around 22,000 mph.Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time, as it is a vector it needs to be expressed in terms of magnitude and direction. Acceleration occurs when speed increases, when speed decreases and/or when the direction of motion changes. g is commonly used to as a measure of acceleration. The SI unit for acceleration is metres per second squared.
if you flew a plane straight would it fly into space?
It depends on how you define "airplane". Since planes are defined by generating lift with the wings, then technically the answer is no. Airplanes need air flowing over their wings to generate lift, so they can not leave the atmosphere. However, not everything with wings is an airplane. The Space Shuttle had wings, and obviously it could fly into space. If the question is "if a flying object kept going in a straight line, would it go into space?" then the answer is yes. It's not the most efficient path to space, but if you shot a rocket in a straight line (assuming it wasn't a line going towards the ground) and it had enough fuel, then it would eventually reach space.
Where is the appollo 11 spacecraft kept?
The Apollo 11 spacecraft is housed at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
How does the space station propelled its self?
Flywheels deliver the needed impulses to turn the heavy mass of the station in space, and they are kept spinning powered via solar voltaic panels. Perhaps.
Can astronauts have a conversation in space without radios?
No, not in space. Sound needs air to travel through, and there's no air in space. However, while they're inside their spacecraft, the capsule is kept full of pressurized breathable air, just so they don't have to wear their space-suits all the time. Since they do have air inside, they can converse without radio while they're in there.
Where is all the food kept in a space shuttle?
yes it is xx === ===
Where is the food kept in a space shuttle?
The food is kept in special frozen areas. This helps keeping the food from withering.

How much co2 is produced when the space shuttle goes up?
The fuel used by the main space shuttle engines is super-cold liquid hydrogen, kept at a temperature of -253oC. The hydrogen fuel is combusted with liquid oxygen in a reaction that reaches temperatures of up to 3136oC to creates a high-speed stream of gas which ultimately generates the thrust necessary for launching the shuttle. This gas stream is essentially just very hot water steam with no CO2.
