The space shuttle is different from all other space crafts ever built because it is the only vehicle that NASA has to fly astronauts to orbit and back that can be used again. The space shuttle is almost 100 percent reusable. the only part that needs replacing is the large external tank. After every flight a new one needs to be made.
