The US space shuttles were built to take astronauts into space and build the International Space Station.
Space shuttles were built at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida by NASA's contractors. The primary contractor responsible for constructing the space shuttles was Rockwell International. The shuttles were assembled in the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center.
As of now, the space shuttle program has been retired and no new shuttles are being built. The last space shuttle was the Space Shuttle Atlantis, which retired in 2011. The focus has shifted towards developing new spacecraft for space exploration.
The current US space shuttles are Atlantis, Endeavour, and Discovery.
NASA built a total of five space shuttles: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. These shuttles were in operation from 1981 to 2011.
Yes. Columbia was the first of the space shuttles to actually fly into space. The first recognizable 'space shuttle' was called the Enterrprise. It was built to do glide and landing tests before the Columbia flew into space in 1981.

Stations are built in space; Shuttles use rocket boosters.

Five Space Shuttles were built. Challenger, Columbia, Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavor. Of the five built, three remain. Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavor
None. The space shuttle is not built for moon landings.

Rockets, help us today because they can take us to space which is miles away from Earth. We don't use space shuttles today because they use up all their gas really quickly and it takes a long time to get to space by space shuttles so instead of space shuttles we have rockets that help us today to get to space.
No, all remaining Space Shuttles have been retired and are now in museums across the country.
