How does the space shuttle move in space?
Most of the movement, the orbiting of the shuttle around Earth, comes from the launch which gets the shuttle up to over 17,000 miles per hour. While in orbit, astronauts use the the shuttle's reaction control system to make adjustments to the shuttles orbit. The main engines are used again at the end of the mission to slow the shuttle down allowing the Earth's gravity to the rest of the work to bring the shuttle and astronauts back to the ground.
What was the first shuttle into space and when?
The first flight was STS-1 by the shuttle Columbia, April 12-14, 1981. It was commanded by John Young (Gemini astronaut in 1965 and 9th man on the moon in 1972) and flown by pilot Robert Crippen, on his first trip into space. (Arguably, they were the most different duo ever to launch into space.)
