Space Shuttle

that depends where they are..in the space or on the ground?

About 260 days. It depends on a lot of things though, but when Mars is closest to Earth, with today's technology we could reach Mars in about 260 days. Note that the space shuttle will not be used to travel to Mars;it is incapable of doing so.

The Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral are located in Brevard County, Florida

The distance from Ft. Lauderdale to Kennedy Space Center is about 201 miles. Which is about 3 hours and 19 minutes.

From 1981 through 2009, Space Shuttles launched from Cape Canaveral, FL on the east coast.

All of the surviving space shuttles have been retired to various museums.

Probes are used to get samples and to also see what there is on other planets

Mae Carol Jemison, a former US astronaut with NASA, was the first African-American woman to go into space. She was part of the crew of the shuttle Endeavour on its STS-47 mission of September 12-20, 1992.

She was born October 17, 1956 in Decatur, Alabama.

Sally Ride was the first American woman in space in 1983. Sally Ride affected today's world by encouraging young girls' involvement in math, science, and technology. Ride has also founded Sally Ride Science, her own company devoted to the education of upper elementary - middle school students. Ride was also honored with many awards and inducted into many Hall of Fames

Yes, doctor Mae Jemison has won many awards during her life time. One of the most honorable awards she's won is the Essence Award. She won the Essence Award in 1988.

Mae Jemmison went to space because she wanted to become an astronaut but also a scientist

Rakesh Sharma is the first Indian to go to space in the Soyuz T-10 capsule.(now displayed at Nehru Planetarium . delhi)

yeah she liked space but that does'nt answer the question WHEN did she go in space. not september 12 1992. thats when she was born!

Mae Carol Jemison (born October 17, 1956) is an American physician and NASA

astronaut. She became the first black woman to travel in space when she went

into orbit aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on September 12, 1992. After

her medical education and a brief general practice, Jemison served in the Peace

Corps from 1985 to 1987. She resigned from NASA in 1993 to form a company

researching the application of technology to daily life. She has appeared on

television several times, including as an actor in an episode of Star Trek: The

Next Generation. She is a dancer, and holds 9 honorary doctorates in science,

engineering, letters, and the humanities.

It takes about 4 or 5 days to get from earth to the moon so if you are going to the moon pack enough food,water,and stuff to do
Space shuttles can't go to the moon. They only are made to be in earth orbit. The various Apollo missions that went to the moon took about 3 days to reach it. Space shuttles takes approximately eight minutes to reach space.

ACTUALLY,they can spend more than 6 months they can be on there for 803 days that is the record!

The first shuttle missions had a crew of 2, many later missions had 5. Nowadays, the usual crew is 7 people (commander, pilot, several mission specialists, and rarely a flight engineer). One 2 occasions, 8 astronauts have flown (missions STS-61-A and STS-71). In case of an emergency rescue mission, the absolute maximum crew is 11.

Neil Armstrong never served on a space shuttle mission. He was part of the Apollo Program

for a fact, she is not dead she is still a professor at a college in physics

In the backpack there is computer monitoring temperature so hot or cold liquids can be pumped through suit to keep astronaut comfortable as temps range from well as water for drinking and a tank of oxygen to breathe and a back up oxygen tank and in Apollo suits there included a pipe for going to the toilet.

I think that covers it but might be a few more bits.

The cruising altitude of the Space Shuttle depends on its mission. Since the Columbia disaster, with the exception of the last Hubble Servicing Mission in summer 2008, the cruising altitude has been equal to that of the International Space Station, approximately 340 km (211 miles).

The highest a Space Shuttle has flown has been on the servicing missions to the Hubble Space Telescope, at approximately 600 km (372 miles). For a sense of perspective, on a 16 inch diameter globe 372 miles translates to .7515 of an inch.

The maximum theoretical altitude for the Space Shuttle has been reported as 600 miles. On a 16 inch diameter globe 600 miles translates to 1.2121 inches.
