Space shuttles are rockets, however they were intended to be mostly reusable while other rockets are totally disposable.
However the space shuttle is no longer being used: the design is considered obsolete, equipment was aging and deteriorating faster than expected, and they were no longer considered safe to continue flying.
What else can I help you with?
Did anyone travel in space in a rocket or did all space travel occur in space shuttles?
Both rockets and space shuttles have been used for space travel. Rockets are typically used to launch spacecraft into orbit, while space shuttles are reusable spacecraft that can carry astronauts and cargo to and from space. Many astronauts have traveled in both rockets and space shuttles over the years.
Advantages of using space shuttles rather than rocket?
Space shuttles have the advantage of being reusable, which can lead to cost savings over time compared to expendable rockets. Additionally, shuttles have the ability to transport larger payloads and crew members. They also offer more flexibility in terms of being able to return to Earth and land on a runway like an airplane.

How did the International Space Station get to space?
The space station, now weighing several tons, did not get up there in one launch. U.S. space shuttles and Russian, Canadian, and Japanese rockets brought pods. These smaller sections were peiced togather in orbit until you have what hangs over our heads today. -Jack
How many rockets have been sent to space since 1957?
