Why does the space shuttle have windows not the launch window but the kind you look out of?

So they can find where they are going, like the ISS


How do astronauts get to the iss?

Astronauts typically travel to the International Space Station (ISS) using a spacecraft, such as the Russian Soyuz or American SpaceX Crew Dragon. These spacecraft launch from Earth and dock with the ISS, where astronauts then transfer from the spacecraft to the station.


How long does it take to get to the International Space Station?

The shuttle does not immediately go to the ISS, but 'parks' in earth orbit for a time during which the shuttle is checked for damage and equipment is also tested and organized. They gradually catch up with the ISS in a complex process of orbital mechanics. The docking occurs approximately two days after launch.


When was the ISS built?

The International Space Station (ISS) was built over a span of more than a decade, starting with the launch of the first module in 1998. Construction continued until 2011 when the assembly of the station was completed.
