The first space shuttle?
The first space shuttle developed by NASA was the Space Shuttle Enterprise, which never flew in space and was used for atmospheric flight tests. The first space shuttle to reach space was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which launched on April 12, 1981.
How long does it take for the space shuttle to get to the moon?
The space shuttle does not travel to the moon. The Apollo missions used spacecraft, not space shuttles, to travel to the moon. It took the Apollo missions around 3 days to travel from Earth to the moon.
Is the Kennedy space center where the first shuttle to the moon was lauched?
The Apollo missions which reached the moon were launched from the Kennedy Space Center. The space shuttle was not designed to reach the moon, but instead orbits the Earth at 200-300 nautical miles.
How many space shuttles have landed on the moon?
Six space shuttles have landed on the moon. The space shuttles, however, were a part of the Space Shuttle program and were not designed to operate on the moon’s surface. They were primarily used for missions in low Earth orbit.
How long does it take to get to the moon in a space shuttle?
The space shuttle is not designed to go to the moon and has never gone to the moon; it is strictly used for travelling to and from Earth's orbit (and has mostly been used to travel to the International Space Station). If the shuttle were for some reason flown to the moon, it would crash there, since it requires an atmosphere in order to land successfully. However, if it was your intention to fly the shuttle to the moon and crash, that could be done in about 3 days, in theory. I doubt that NASA would approve the mission.

When was the space shuttle Saturn 5 invented?
The first manned space shuttle mission occurred on the 12th of April 1981. However it was the space shuttle Columbia, not the Saturn V rocket. The Saturn V rocket was first used for a manned mission on December the 21st 1968. Two very different space vehicles. The Saturn V rocket was used to send man to the Moon, where as the space shuttle is used to sent humans into Earth orbit.
Who used the first space shuttle in space?
The United States

Has the moon ever been hit by a space shuttle?
No, the moon has never been hit by a space shuttle. Space shuttles were used for missions in low Earth orbit and never traveled far enough to reach the moon.
What was the first space shuttle which never went into space called?
The first space shuttle to be built but never flew into space was the Space Shuttle Enterprise. It was used for approach and landing tests during the late 1970s.
Could the space shuttle land on the moon?
No, the space shuttle was not designed to land on the moon. It was designed for missions in low Earth orbit and did not have the capability for a lunar landing. The Apollo program used specialized spacecraft to land on the moon.
What was the first space shuttle ever built?
The first space shuttle ever built was the Space Shuttle Enterprise. It was constructed as a prototype and test vehicle and never flew into space. Enterprise was used for approach and landing tests before the operational shuttle flights began with Columbia.
Which is the first American space shuttle?
The first space shuttle was Enterprise, built in 1976 but was only used for testing. The Challenger was the first to achieve Earth orbit, however, in 1981. (This information is from the nasa.gov website -Doctor Dan)
