The Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) drop off the space shuttle to reduce weight and allow the shuttle to continue its journey using its main engines. Once the SRBs have burned out their fuel, they are jettisoned to prevent excess weight and drag during ascent.
Never: The Shuttle has never been to the moon and never will.
The Space Shuttle usually took off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
From the time the Space Shuttle's on-board computers start the launch sequence until the time the shuttle actually lifts off the pad is about 31 seconds. About 60 seconds after lift off, the engines on the shuttle are at maximum throttle.
Nemo lives in the coral reef which is near the surface of the ocean. So the drop off is the part to the ocean floor. Remember the 3 parts of the ocean: The surface, the mid-section, and the ocean floor!
