Discovery was the next shuttle to launch. Over 2 years later.
The space shuttle is able to go to the moon by using a special type of fuel and rises up the earth atmosphere until it overcomes the force of gravity.
NASA does not use spac shuttle any more
The last words spoken by the crew of the space shuttle Challenger were "go at throttle up" seconds before the shuttle exploded. Due to the tragedy, communication was lost and the crew were unable to say any more words.
The next space shuttle to be launched by NASA will be the Space Launch System (SLS), not a shuttle. SLS is a powerful rocket that will be used for missions beyond low Earth orbit, including the Artemis program, which aims to return astronauts to the Moon.
No. The next shuttle mission - which will be the next-to-last shuttle launch - is scheduled for October, 2010.

There are 6 space shuttles, 5 fully functional. Enterprise- Named after the Star Trek ship, it's not able to go to space. It can fly like a plane though. It's a test ship. Colombia- First shuttle to go into space. Blew up in 2003. Challenger- blew up in 1986 Discovery- STS-133, last mission for this shuttle. Atlantis- STS-135 last space shuttle mission scheduled this summer. Endeavour- STS-134, next mission, coming up soon. This was made as a replacement to Challenger in the 90's. All of them are reusable to go into space except for the blown up ones and Enterprise. Enterprise is still functional for flying on Earth.
To lift off the earth against the force of gravity. To go up.
The Space Shuttle Program was retired in 2011. They will never fly again.

The Dulles Airport shuttle (aka the Super Shuttle) serves a wide radius. A rider should go to the Super Shuttle site to see which stop is closest to them and can best serve as a pick up spot. Reservations can be made by calling Super Shuttle at 800 258-3826
The space shuttle blasted off. The NASA team goes inside the shuttle. We can go inside the shuttle now.
