How many times has a space shuttle landed on the moon?

None. The Space shuttle has never come close to the Moon, let alone land on it.


What happened to the space shuttles that are not used anymore?

The retired space shuttles are now displayed in museums across the United States. For example, Atlantis is at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida, Discovery is at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Virginia, Endeavour is at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, and Enterprise is at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York.


What happens when a space shuttle leaves your atmosphere?

It will go to space and come back to earth in 2 years.


Why did Americans invent the space shuttle?

THe American's built the space shuttle to have a reusable rocket that could go out into space and come back to earth.


How do space shuttles enter and exit space?

When a space shuttle takes off, it gathers momentum and burns fuel to get higher. Once the huge rocket that the space shuttle rides on is out of fuel, it falls off. The shuttle continues on alone into space. To get back into the atmosphere, careful calculations are done. The shuttle must come in at just the right angle or else it will burn up or bounce off of the atmosphere and be gone forever. The space shuttle slices into the atmosphere and begins gliding like a paper airplane at incredible speeds. A computer controls the shuttle and lands it on a runway that is a mile wide and several miles long. It lands like a normal airplane and everyone arrives safely.

What is a reusable space shuttle?

The shuttles we have now are reusable. They come back, are serviced, stuck on top of some more rockets, and go again.

What other space shuttles are there?

Other than the Space Transport System from NASA (which are the everyday "space shuttles"), there aren't that many other ones. The main "other" space shuttle was the Buran Program from the USSR, which had shuttles that looked very much like the American ones. This program was canceled in 1993. Scaled Composites and Virgin have come together to make the SpaceShip series of craft that are reusable, but they can't be used to get to full orbit.


If you were to go to space and come back on a straight line will you land on earth on a different place from the one you started?

yes because the earth moves


What reptile do they have to clear from the runway before they can land the shuttles at the Kennedy Space Center?

The reptile that have to be cleared from the runway before they can land the shuttles at the Kennedy Space Center are female turtles. They will come on shore during the night to lay their eggs.
