Are there any astronauts with a first name of James?
Yes. The most famous would be James Lovell. He was on the crew of Apollo 8, the first one to travel to the moon, although they did not land on it. They orbited the moon only. He was also on the famous Apollo 13 mission, that failed to land on the moon due to technical problems.
There was also James A. McDivitt, commander of Gemini 4 and Apollo 9, and James B. Irwin, LM pilot of Apollo 15.

Why pencil is not use in space?
Pencils produce carbon dust when used. In space the dust will float around and contaminate electronics, carbon dust is electrically conductive. If it got in to electronics it could easily short them out. A'sealed pressurized ink cartridge' was developed by Paul fisher ( and associates) in1965
The force applied would be zero as a freely floating astronaut feels weightlessness as the gravitational force acting on him is zero.
They use parachutes on their module to slow down and then land safely in the water to be fished out later.
Can the astronauts watch TV in the Space Shuttle?
First of all, the last Space Shuttle Mission flew in 2011, and there won't be any more.

What do astronaut carry in space?
The shuttle astronauts carry some of the water needed for themselves and also deliver water to the International Space Station. Over a year 2200 liters are transported at a cost of $US11000 per liter. The ISS also has a Russian built device that processes the humidity in the air and condenses it for drinking and other purposes. On the shuttle, water is produced as a byproduct of the orbiter's fuel cells converting hydrogen and oxygen to electricity.
Because of the massive cost of transporting water, NASA is working on a system that converts many of the astronauts' body fluids - and, yes, that includes urine - into drinkable water. See the Related Link below for the interesting details.
Three, the number of counting is three (3) , none other since no gravity is the norm without intervention inside the craft, Thus the Pythonian 3 shall be the default
In 1982 Sally Ride married another astronaut?
Yes, she married Steve Hawley. They divorced post-Challenger.
The first or maybe second Space Shuttle flew a test flight. During re-entry it was piloted by John Young without the use of a computer and I think it was flying at Mach 23. The Shuttle flies faster when in space.
