Absolutely; the gravitational field of the planet Earth extends to the shuttle and much farther; the moon is held in its orbit by the Earth's gravity, and the shuttle doesn't travel nearly as far as the moon.
It depends where you are going.
To escape the Earths gravity the shuttle goes 17,500 miles an hour. You can use that value to figure out how far it goes in 500 seconds.
they never did only Apollo 11 and up have been to the moon so far
Forces of Motion. As far as I have known, it is when the space shuttle leaves the earth, it is pushed upwards by the opposite side of the shuttle whenerer it is going to leave. Answered by: SAV
If you you travel 3 miles, you would get 3 miles far.
A space shuttle, such as NASA's Space Shuttle, could travel up to about 12,500 miles in a single orbit around Earth. It mainly traveled between Earth and the International Space Station (ISS) during its operational years.
187.5 miles
It depends where it is going.
You will travel 16 miles.
Yes! As far as space travel goes, Shuttles are basically our only way, at the moment, to travel far distances in the endless reaches of space. Apart from rockets which take take us from earth into space, and carry the heavy loads, shuttles are what are used mainly.
I Think it depends on how fast/strong the wind is going.
