Several retired space shuttles are on display in museums across the United States. Notable examples include the Space Shuttle Atlantis at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida, the Space Shuttle Endeavour at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, and the Space Shuttle Discovery at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia. The Space Shuttle Enterprise, a prototype, is on display at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City. Each shuttle serves as a testament to the achievements of NASA's Space Shuttle program.
The last Space Shuttle missions flew in 2011. The remaining shuttles themselves are now on display in museums. When they flew, they were launched from Cape Canaveral, on Florida's east coast.
The Space Shuttle is already being replaced, and will be retired in 2010.

There are currently no space shuttles in operation. The Space Shuttle program was retired in 2011 after the final mission of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Some shuttles, such as Discovery and Endeavour, are on display at museums, while others, like Enterprise, were used for testing and were not space-faring shuttles.
There has been 128 launched and only 1 has failed so.....127.

none.
It depends on which shuttle is scheduled for a mission. The only spaceworthy shuttles right now are Atlantis, Endeavour and Discovery.
No 1). Nothing can. 2). No space shuttle ever came anywhere close to that speed. 3). No space shuttle can travel at any speed now, because that program has ended, and the remaining shuttles are in museums.
5 different space shuttles have been launched on 129 missions.
