Space Shuttle

They both start with space and they both can be in space

if you ever seen a space shuttle being launched in a rocket, it tends to have a huge orange missile like object in the middle. That's the external fuel tank which contains roughly 25%-30% liquid oxygen oxidizer and 70%-75% liquid hydrogen fuel. It's basically water vapor/steam whats let off after those two burn up.

Enterprise was the first space shuttle orbiter built but it was used only for flight tests and was not capable of going into space. Columbia was the first orbiter built which was space worthy and launched on STS-1

Enterprise was used only for testing the glide capabilities of the space shuttle orbiters, it never went to space. During the numerous flight tests the maximum altitude it reached was 30,292 ft before gliding back to the dry lakebed at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

A pair of 747 aircraft were specially modified to handle the shuttle orbiters. The orbiter is lifted by a crane and mounted to the back of the 747 using the same mount points the orbiter is mounted to the external fuel tank for launch. Upon arriving at the Kennedy Space Center, a similar crane lifts the orbiter off the 747 which then backs out from under the orbiter.

Columbia was the first space shuttle sent into space on April 12, 1981, exactly 20 years to the day after Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space.

Yes the main one which is the orange one and the side booster rockets that are white and there are two of them

The shuttle uses the atmosphere to slow itself down from orbital speed.

Mainly production costs. Take the Apollo versus Space-shuttle as an example... In the Apollo design, each 'stage' of the rocket was simply jettisoned to burn up in the atmosphere once it was 'spent'. With the Shuttle, the only non re-usable part was the main external fuel tank. The solid rocket boosters returned to earth by parachute, the main shuttle vehicle landed like an aeroplane would (instead of an oceanic 'splash-down' as the Apollo crafts used to do). The external fuel tank, once jettisoned, burned up in the atmosphere.

None. The moon missions were launched by a Saturn 5 rocket carrying an Apollo space capsule. The space shuttles were used for earth orbit missions.

Enterprise, the flight test orbiter used in glide tests, stopped in Denver aboard the 747 Shuttle Carrier aircraft August 13-14, 1979. It's next stop was Hill Air Force base in, Ogden, Utah.

This was part of a ferry flight from the Kennedy Space Center to the Dryden Flight Research Facility in California following testing of the vehicle at KSC. It is also one of the few times a shuttle orbiter has travelled east to west, normally they are traveling from Edwards Air Force Base in California to the Kennedy Space Center (with stops at military bases in Texas or Oklahoma for refueling)

I remember a space shuttle landing at Denver's Stapleton Airport in the late 70's or early 80's...my parents house was right under the landing strip for airlines landing there... but I cannot remember what year it was, exactly..

The temperature in space can vary significantly depending on whether the space shuttle is in direct sunlight or shadow. In direct sunlight, temperatures can reach up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (121 degrees Celsius), while in shadow, temperatures can drop to as low as -250 degrees Fahrenheit (-157 degrees Celsius). The space shuttle's thermal protection system helps regulate these extreme temperature changes to protect the spacecraft and its crew.

Probably, people cant tell because it took a lot of steps and a lot of things that people can not tell. It is beyond the human bounds to tell. Even if the person who invented, i think can not tell.

I don't know remember which shuttle specifically, but it landed and took off at Dulles, and its driving me crazy not being able to find out which one it was. I did find one comment on a blog that suggested it was Challenger. I distinctly remember the pilot of the 747 "tipping" the wing as it took off, but I don't remember the significance of that and really want to know.
