Does a rocket ship go further when its heavy or light?
This will depend if by bigger you mean having a larger payload, with the same amount of propellant, or it the payload is the same and only the mass of propellant changes. If you have more propellant/rocket fuel then the rocket will have more energy. The equation E=.5mv2 (e=energy, m=mass, and v=velocity) shows that if you have more energy then the velocity will increase. But if there is more mass then the velocity will be less. So the question is tough to answer with no set values as to the mass of the rocket fuel vs the mass of the payload. However if this is about rockets in space, where the net force acting on the rocket during the trip is effectively zero( no friction in space), then both rockets will go equally far, both will go indefinitely, with one just going faster than the other.
What is the fastest aircraft ever and how fast can it fly?
The fastest aircraft publicly known is the SR-71 "Blackbird", which set speed records at 1905.81 knots (2,193.17 mph, 3,529.56 km/h) There may be faster aircraft today; the rumored "Aurora" aircraft using a pulse-jet engine may be capable of Mach 5 or more. The Space Shuttle reaches speeds of up to 17,000 MPH while in orbit, and reaches mach 20 during its return to Earth and landing.
What is another name for the Hovercraft?
Ship, Space Ship, or plane.
How do engineered materials differ from natural materials?
Engineered materials can differ from natural materials in many ways. Engineered ones are made for specific purposes, some to have more tensile strenght like steel and kevlar, others to be more ductil like the elastomers, others to resist to higher temperatures like the ceramics on the space shuttle, others to conduct electricity like silicon based transistors, and so on. They also differ on composition. Engineered materials can be a mix of natural materials (and by this i mean that occur in the nature without human intervention) and man-made, or only man-made materials.

What is another name for a space shuttle?

What is the difference between a space shuttle and a rocket?
Answer The Space Shuttle is a rocket. By definition, a Rocket is a vehicle that burns gas that it carries with it. Where as, a jet airplane burns the oxygen from the air and is not a rocket. The Rocket when it is launched has a liquid fuel rocket engines at the back end of it. It also has two long, solid fuel rocket engines that separate after launch. But the space shuttle is pulled by a rocket.

Where did neil Armstrong's space shuttle launch from?
