At launch the Shuttle (orbiter) is attached to two rockets -- the long white tubes on the sides are called solid rocket boosters (SRBs). Also, the big orange tank the Shuttle sits on at launch is a full of liquid fuel. At launch the SRBs ignite/start and the shuttle's main engine begins burning the liquid fuel. These three engines push the shuttle up into orbit.
If you are asking how a rocket engine works. If you put an object beside a bomb, when the bomb goes off it knocks/pushes the object away. If you put a firecracker under an empty tin can, the firecracker will knock the can up into the air (see link below). You can think of a rocket engine as creating many continuous explosions that push it.
The space shuttle that exploded in 1996 was the Space Shuttle Challenger.
The space shuttle is able to go to the moon by using a special type of fuel and rises up the earth atmosphere until it overcomes the force of gravity.
Without the space shuttle, spacecraft such as SpaceX's Dragon capsule or Boeing's Starliner will be used to transport astronauts and cargo to space. These spacecraft are launched using rockets, such as SpaceX's Falcon 9 or NASA's Space Launch System. The International Space Station will continue to be serviced by these alternative vehicles.
The Challenger space shuttle blew up because of a faulty O-ring.
The space shuttle that exploded in 1986 was the Space Shuttle Challenger. It tragically disintegrated 73 seconds after launch, resulting in the loss of all seven crew members.

Generic space shuttle wreckage and such.
The space shuttle is called Atlantis.
No. The space shuttle has nothing to do with tornadoes.
The Challenger space shuttle blew up because of a faulty O-ring.
no, space shuttle atlantis didn't blow up, the shuttles that blew up were columbia and challenger.
The space shuttle Columbia was launched into space in 1981. The date was April 12, 1981. This same space shuttle would later explode in 2003, killing the seven-member crew.
Upthrust is needed to lift a shuttle up RG

Space shuttle Challenger exploded on the 28th of January 1986.
