No. No space shuttle was ever built to leave orbit around Earth. The New Horizons space probe, an unmanned spacecraft, flew past Pluto in July 2015.
It would take a space shuttle several years to reach Pluto from the US. The exact duration would depend on the speed of the spacecraft and its trajectory. Current technology would require several decades to make such a journey.
The distance from Earth to Pluto is not constant, but averages to 3.57 billion miles. The Space Shuttle orbits at 17,500 miles per hour. Therefore 205,000 hours or 8,500 days or 23 years 105 days
The wingspan for the space shuttle is 24 Meters and in feet: 78 Feet. hope this helps.
Pluto was not disqualified in space. It was reclassed into a more specific category: dwarf planet.
No. The space shuttle is built for low Earth orbit, not moon landings.
No, no space shuttle has gone to Pluto. The New Horizons spacecraft is the only mission to date that has flown by Pluto, passing close to the dwarf planet in 2015 and providing scientists with valuable data and images.

The fastest space shuttle was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which reached a top speed of about 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour) during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.

Airways/ a flight.
For an aircraft that flies in atmosphere, you are looking for the SR-71 Blackbird. For in space, that aircraft is the space shuttle.
Theoretically yes - although it won't have enough to return. Once out of the gravitational pull of the Earths gravity and a couple of gravitational assists from other planets, a shuttle could make it to Pluto and beyond.
Marc Garneau flew on the Space Shuttle Challenger in October 1984 as a payload specialist, making him the first Canadian in space. He has since flown on two additional shuttle missions during his career as an astronaut.
18000 miles per hour by the space shuttle
Space Shuttle Endeavour was the final Space Shuttle built. It was built to replace Space Shuttle Challenger.
The first space shuttle developed by NASA was the Space Shuttle Enterprise, which never flew in space and was used for atmospheric flight tests. The first space shuttle to reach space was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which launched on April 12, 1981.
