How far can a space shuttle travel into space?

In: Space Shuttle [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

I've always thought the answer to this was: It can keep going forever unless something in its way stops it. (One of newtons laws) See in space there is no gravity and without that force an object in motion can stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. EX. A planet or asteroid etc.
