Space Shuttle

The larger the object, the more 'space' is displaced, and thus, the greater the gravity. The Moon displaces less 'space' than the Earth, so the Moon has less gravity. The space station displaces very little space AND its' shape does not lend itself to taking advantage of the spacial displacement, so it doesn't result in very much gravity.

Stand in a swimming pool and hold a beach ball under the water: the pressure of the water on the ball is a simulation of gravity. Hold a tennis ball under the water: far less pressure, yes? Now, hold something with the exact same collective mass as the beach ball (lets say one of those 'noodle' things the kids play with) and you'll have far less pressure on it than on the beach ball. Why? It has the same mass as the beach ball, so why isn't there the same amount of pressure (gravity) on it? Because the 'shape' of it does not lend itself to take advantage of the gravitational pressure.

Gravity can, however, be simulated with inertia. If the ship spins... centripical force and all that.

Astronauts use specialized urine collection systems on the International Space Station. Their urine is collected and processed to reclaim water for drinking and other uses. Solid waste is collected and returned to Earth for disposal.

The space shuttle used to be launched from Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. However, the space shuttle program has been retired, and spacecraft are now launched from various locations, such as the SpaceX launch site at Kennedy Space Center, as well as other private and government launch facilities around the world.

The Space Shuttle could accommodate a maximum crew of seven astronauts. This included two pilots and up to five mission specialists.

It depends upon the weight of the total vehicle and the payload combined (including the fuel, which needs to be carried upward too). For more information, see the link below the ads.

The Saturn V can carry 385.6 tonnes of propellant according to pg 244 in "The Rocket: The History and Development of Rocket & Missile Technology"

Joeseph Kittinger was the first man in space, he did so in 1960 as part of an Air Force experiment.

He is Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin from the former Soviet Union (now Russia). The 27-year-old Soviet Air Force major made his flight Apr 12, 1961, lasting 108 minutes and orbiting Earth in a rocket-propelled, five-ton space capsule.

No, the moon has never been hit by a space shuttle. Space shuttles were used for missions in low Earth orbit and never traveled far enough to reach the moon.

No. Magnetic compasses work based on the Earth's mantic field, in space there is no magnetic field for the compasses to work with. A different system, possibly similar to Global Positioning System (GPS) might work, call it the Universal Positioning System. On certain rocky planets it could work, but some planets don't have a magnetic field, like Mars. So a traditional magnetic compass wouldn't work in space, or at least it won't get you where you want to go.

Nope.

Yuma doesn't have suitable facilities that could have supported the Space Shuttle, and there was no point to building any when they already had backup sites at Vandenberg to the west in California, and White Sands to the east in New Mexico.

Dr. Mae Jemison is currently involved in various initiatives promoting STEM education and diversity in the sciences. She leads the 100 Year Starship program, which aims to ensure human interstellar travel within the next century. Additionally, she continues to inspire and advocate for increased opportunities for underrepresented groups in STEM fields.

Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet astronaut, was the first person to travel to space. On April 12, 1961, he orbited the Earth aboard the spacecraft Vostok 1.

The large multi-stage rocket called the Saturn V launched men to the Moon from 1968 to 1972. The new vehicle (2017) will be called the Ares 1 booster. (The Space Shuttle is not a lunar-capable vehicle.)

The cost to launch the space shuttle varied depending on the specific mission and year, but on average it was around $450 million per mission. This cost included expenses such as fuel, maintenance, personnel salaries, and mission operations.

Atlantis was the last space shuttle, But the mission was STS-135

Actually its the other way around, if a rocket were to launch off the moon it would take less fuel than if it had launched off of earth. It would take less fuel because the moon has lighter gravity.

Spaceships use thrusters to steer in space. These thrusters expel gas at high speeds in a specific direction, creating a reaction force that pushes the spaceship in the opposite direction. By controlling the firing of these thrusters, the spaceship can change its orientation and direction in the vacuum of space.

The final stage of a multistage rocket typically contains the payload and is responsible for reaching the final destination. This stage is usually designed to provide the necessary thrust and velocity to deliver the payload to its intended orbit or trajectory. The earlier stages are used to provide the initial thrust needed to propel the rocket off the ground and into space.

Astronauts eat dried food, or, really really well packed food. They pack food really really good by sucking out all of the air inside the package. When they eat the dry food, they add water through a little tube.

The temperature in outer space where space shuttles fly can range from extreme cold of around -270 degrees Celsius in the shade to extreme heat of up to 120 degrees Celsius in direct sunlight. The temperature fluctuates depending on whether the spacecraft is in direct sunlight or shadow.

No human has ever survived in the vacuum of space without a spacesuit. However, there have been instances where astronauts have made it back to their spacecraft or station after experiencing a spacewalk or other accidents. The lack of oxygen and extreme temperatures in space make it impossible for unprotected individuals to survive.

From space, the moon appears as a grayish-white sphere covered in craters and various dark and light patches. Its surface has a rugged and barren appearance, lacking any atmosphere or weather to alter its features. The contrast between the darker maria (plains) and the lighter highlands is clearly visible when observed from space.

Mae Jemison was the first black woman to travel into space aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992. She was also the first African-American woman to be admitted into the astronaut training program.

Mae Jemison is famous for being the first African American woman in space. She flew aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in September 1992 as a mission specialist. Jemison is also an accomplished physician and engineer.

Mae Jemison's most remarkable accomplishment is becoming the first African American woman to travel in space as part of the Space Shuttle Endeavour mission STS-47 in 1992. This groundbreaking achievement not only made her an inspiration to many, but also highlighted the importance of diversity and representation in the field of space exploration.
