when a shuttle goes into space would the speed of the shuttle be the same as its speed flying on earth?
Just a couple of comments from students who are looking back into space (or maybe they never stopped).
Unfortunately tonight’s launch of the space shuttle was scrubbed due to a hydrogen fuel leak, next earliest date for launch will be Sunday. SO how fast do these space craft go?
Looking forward to the shuttle launch tonight:

Tanking Complete
Sun, 15 Mar 2009 01:25:03 PM EDT
The three-hour process to fuel the external tank is complete. More than 500,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen have been transferred to their respective containers inside the 154-foot tall orange tank. There are no indications of a leak and fueling has entered the “stable replenish” mode.
Countdown clocks have entered a planned hold at T-3 hours and everything remains on schedule for a 7:43:46 p.m. EDT launch of space shuttle Discovery.
Launch coverage will begin at 2:30 p.m. on NASA Television.
how does the shuttle end up with a hole in it and what puts a hole in it and how does it stop it from moving in space. what causes the shuttle to stop lift off?
I dont know how it got a hole but everything has to be perfect after all they are going into space which could be very very dangerous. The littlest damage could case the biggest problem.
Watching the shuttle landing on TV and waiting to see if I hear the sonic boom.
Heard the boom! cool
I wounder if there is an other earth out there. There probably is but how long do you think it will take them to find it?
