On re entry into the Earth`s atmosphere the shuttle is protected from the heat by the tiles on the belly of the shuttle.
The space shuttle that exploded in 1996 was the Space Shuttle Challenger.
A space shuttle still has to leave the atmosphere, we aren't building them in space. While leaving the atmosphere a space shuttle causes a lot of friction as it rubs against the air on the way up.
The Challenger space shuttle blew up because of a faulty O-ring.
There are tiles on the entire space shuttle. Every square inch is covered in tiles. The nose, bottom and leading edges of the space shuttle have black tiles while the rest of the space shuttle has white tiles. The nose leading edges and the bottom of the shuttle are the portions of the shuttle that get the most friction/heat from the atmosphere during re-entry.
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.
The space shuttle is protected from burning up when returning to Earth by its heat-resistant tiles and thermal protection system. These tiles are designed to withstand the extreme heat generated during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.

Generic space shuttle wreckage and such.
The space shuttle is called Atlantis.
No. The space shuttle has nothing to do with tornadoes.

no, space shuttle atlantis didn't blow up, the shuttles that blew up were columbia and challenger.
Upthrust is needed to lift a shuttle up RG

When the space shuttle re-enters the atmosphere, it generates high temperatures due to friction with the air. To prevent burning up, the shuttle has a heat shield made of special materials that dissipate and absorb this intense heat to protect the spacecraft and its occupants.
