It didn't. There are still plenty of launches scheduled as part of the US space program.

What has stopped for now is manned launches, that is, space flights that carry people.

How does a rocket help space exploration?

It allows astronaut's, Satellites and other items to be sent into space. The problem through is that rockets are basically fireworks. The fuel leaks out of the tank and is set on fire pushing the rocket skywards, but once the fuel has started burning it can't stop, so if anything goes wrong while going up into space your scuppered. A more reliable way of sending things into space would be to use a kind of plane/rocket ship that flies through the atmosphere like a plane and then uses thrusters to propel it once it's left the atmosphere. NASA has considered this and had one in planning, but they never got round to making one, but if they did, the risk factor for each mission would be reduced drastically as well as making space travel allot easier and cheaper. In the end, rockets are needed for the time being, but they arn't the best solution to space exploration.


In the vacumme of space what does a rocket push against?

Every action has an opposite an equal reaction, if you throw a tennis ball while floating in space the you and the ball would both separate at equal speeds (and never stop as there is no air resitence). In the same way, ignited fule leaving the shuttle propels the craft forward. So when you see space craft burning jets constantly in movies, they are just wasting fule. Once you are moving you don't need to do anything in space, just use jets for course correction and to slow down or stop.


Would spreadshot ever stop spreading in space?

It would not stop spreading in space, because of lack of gravity and wind resistance.


Why do things in space stay in space?

Things that 'stay' in space are in orbit round something. This means that they are actually falling!For instance if you throw a ball up it will fall back down. Now throw it up and away from you, it will go up and then come down but its path is a curve. The harder/faster you throw it the longer that curve.If it were possible to remove the air from around Earth (which slows things down) and you could throw something fast enough, then the curve of its path would match the curve of the earth, when this happens the object you throw will orbit the Earth - it will stay up!On Earth (in its atmosphere) you can never get something into orbit because the air slows the thing you throw down, which is why you have to launch the object up outside the atmosphere (into space) to get it to orbit. The launch rocket first goes UP then tilts over to accelerate the space ship to go round the Earth fast enough for it to stay in space.The space ship stays in space BY FALLING but CONTINUOUSLY MISSING the earth as to falls due to its forward momentum.

Why doesn't a rocket in space need to use an engine to keep moving in space?

Because there is no friction in space to slow the rocket down. Once the rocket is at its cruising speed, the engine can be switched off. Of course, that means that you have to use a different engine (pointing forwards) to slow down and stop the rocket since friction won't do it for you.

Why cant a pencil be used in space?

Pens require gravity to work so they stop working in space. pencils are also not used because when we use it saw dust is produced and if it enters the electronics there is chance for the rocket to fail and explode.
