Detailed explanation-1: -NASA uses rockets and spacecraft to send humans into space. Some spacecraft go where humans cannot travel.
Detailed explanation-2: -306 men and 49 women have flown aboard shuttles. Sally Ride became the first American woman in space when she flew aboard Challenger on STS-7, in 1983. The youngest person to travel in space was Sultan bin Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud (28 years, 11 months, 21 days), who flew on shuttle Discovery in 1985, on STS-51G.
Detailed explanation-3: -We launch satellites and spacecraft into space by putting them on rockets carrying tons of propellants. The propellants give the rocket enough energy to boost away from Earth’s surface.
Detailed explanation-4: -Crewed spacecraft are designed to support human life for the human spaceflight portion of the mission. Spacecraft for human spaceflight must have a human-rating certification as fit for purpose.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Shuttle launches like a rocket, maneuvers in Earth orbit like a spacecraft and lands like an airplane. Each of the three Space Shuttle orbiters now in operation–Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour–is designed to fly at least 100 missions.
