The twin rocket boosters (two white ones) fall into the Atlantic ocean just East of Cape Canaveral, Florida after about 8 minutes of flight. The external tank (big orange one) falls off in space a while after. The twin rocket boosters are retrieved by two carrier type ships near Kennedy Space Center. The two boosters are the reused, but the external is not. Little known fact, all the external tank does is hold the liquid oxygen and other prepellents, it is the twin boosters and orbiters which do all the work!

Hope this helped, Adam.
