Where do astronauts park their rockets?
Virtually every part of a rocket burns up upon re-entering the Earth's atmosphere. The only part that returned from the Moon missions were the very tip of the 365 foot rocket. This capsule contained the 3 astronauts and three parachutes. The space shuttle does a little better. The two white solid rocket boosters fall to Earth and parachutes into the sea. They are collected and reused
How did the astronauts return from their space travels before the shuttle?
Part of the rocket was the module in which they lived and when they wanted to come back to Earth they would fire small retro-rockets which would slow the craft down. It would then fall out of orbit, re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and splash down in the sea, its speed being contolled in the last stages by a parachute. The module would then be recovered by a ship waiting for it.
Kalpana Chawla's path to the 'Milky Way'?
Chawla joined the NASA Astronaut Corps in March 1995 and was selected for her first flight in 1996. She had traveled 10.67 million km, as many as 252 times around the Earth.She started off on her path to the 'Milky Way' on November 19, 1997 as part of the six-astronaut crew that flew the Space Shuttle Columbia. She was the first Indian-born woman and the second Indian person to fly in space. On her first mission, she traveled over 10.4 million miles in 252 orbits of the earth, logging more than 372 hours in space. After that she was assigned to technical positions in the astronaut office to work on the space station, her performance in which was recognized with a special award from her peers.In 2000 she was selected for her second flight as part of the crew of STS-107. This mission was repeatedly delayed due to scheduling conflicts and technical problems, finally she returned to space aboard Columbia on the ill-fated STS-107 mission. Her responsibilities included the microgravity experiments, for which the crew conducted nearly 80 experiments studying earth and space science, advanced technology development, and astronaut health and safety.Kalpana Chawla died in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster which occurred on February 1, 2003, when the Space Shuttle disintegrated over Texas during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere, with the loss of all seven crew members, shortly before it was scheduled to conclude its 28th mission.

How many space shuttles have landed on the moon?

What is the only part of the space shuttle that goes intonspace?
The only part of the Space Shuttle that goes into space is the orbiter. This component houses the crew and cargo, and it is responsible for performing missions in low Earth orbit. The solid rocket boosters and the external tank are jettisoned during ascent and do not enter space. After completing its mission, the orbiter re-enters the Earth's atmosphere and lands like an airplane.
