SPACE SHUTTLE: The space shuttle was the first space vehicle that could go into space over and over again.
There were five space shuttles in all and they launched on 135 space missions! ~~ A space shuttle lifted off with the help of two solid rocket boosters and three main engines.
ASTRONAUT: Astronauts go into space to explore, do experiments and learn more about space. Their spacesuits give them air to breathe and protection from being hurt in space and also help them do work outside the spacecraft. A tool belt and straps connected to the suit keep tools from floating away. Spacesuits can even have TV cameras attached to them. Taking videos of all the astronauts work! Astronauts must go to school and then practice for many years before they are allowed to fly in a spacecraft. Astronauts sleep in sleeping bags tied to the wall so they don't float around. The word "astronaut" comes from two Greek words that means "star sailor".
