According to all my research for a school project, astronauts use rockets, space shuttles and spaceships. I'll give a few examples of them: The Challenger, (which busted 7 seconds after take off), Apollo13, and Endeavour.

Now, for some extra info. Unlike early explorers, astronauts used more sophisticated tools of navigation. Explorers used hour glasses and astrolabes (measures latitude, while we lucky people get to use computers, computers, and even more computers! Astronauts also used stars as navigational tools. For example, if astronauts saw the North Star, they would know they're going north, and hopefully, in the correct direction.

Well, I hope you learnt a lot from my small lecture. Remember, I'm only in grade 6!
