Why can't a space shuttle go outside out the earth's orbit?
A space shuttle is not designed with the capability to travel beyond Earth's orbit due to limitations in propulsion and fuel capacity. Additionally, the primary purpose of a space shuttle is to transport astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station and other low Earth orbit destinations, rather than deep space exploration.
Is NASA not sending anymore space shuttles into space?
NASA retired its space shuttle program in 2011. They now rely on commercial partners like SpaceX to transport astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station. NASA is shifting its focus to developing new spacecraft and technologies for deep space exploration.
Where does the space shuttle travel in space?
The space shuttle only goes into Earth orbit, no other place, ever. It can't go to the Moon as it is too heavy for available rockets to take it there, and there is no air on the Moon for its wings to do any landing.
What date was the first space shuttle to orbit earth?
On April 12, 1981, a bright white Columbia roared into a deep blue sky as the nation's first reusable Space Shuttle.Named after the first U.S. Navy vessel to circumnavigate the globe and the command module for the Apollo 11 Moon landing, Columbia continued this heritage of intrepid exploration.
Why did NASA stop space shuttle program?
President George W. Bush initiated the retirement of the Space Shuttle program. After Columbia's loss, the Shuttle was increasingly viewed as unsafe. Because it was also hugely expensive, NASA could not afford to pursue other human space exploration programs while also operating the Space Shuttle. The Shuttle's retirement was intended to pave the way for the development of a new NASA launch system that would be capable of supporting human missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. The replacement rocket's availability was not timed to coincide with the Shuttle's retirement. President Bush's plan instead was to include a multi-year gap in U.S. human spaceflight capabilities.
What do the space shuttles Columbia and Voyager have in common?
They were both launched into space by NASA. It should be noted that Voyager was NOT a space shuttle, but rather an unmanned deep space probe.

What would you have to were if you were in ganymede?
Deep space
Is International Space Station consider deep space?
No, not even close. Deep space would be well outside the solar system.

Why was the space shuttle cancelled?
Well it was canceled because NASA is instituting a new rocket called the Ares and they are having a whole new program called Constellation. They want to put people on Mars with these and you cannot do that with the space shuttle. And they are also doing it because they are stupid really. The space shuttles make way more sense then the new program they are going to have -.-
If a spacecraft that seems to be motionless in deep space is given some type of quick push what will happen?

What can go deep into space?
deep space antiprobe
Where is the space shuttle Challenger buried?
The debris from Space Shuttle Challenger is buried under a missile silo in Cape Canaveral AFB in Merritt Island, Florida. The remains are buried in 2 underground 80 ft. deep minuteman missile silos on abandoned launch complex 31/32.
