hey guys,
does anybody know if NASA has built or going to build another shuttle to replace Columbia?
does anybody know if NASA has built or going to build another shuttle to replace Columbia?
A better question is: Will any shuttle EVER fly again?
NO!has NASA built or going to build another shuttle to replace Columbia?
You don't think NASA is ever going to build another shuttle? I disagree...Astronuc said:NO!
The Columbia disaster was caused by a damaged external tank that broke apart during launch, leading to the destruction of the shuttle upon re-entry.
The new shuttle, named Columbia's replacement, will have improved safety measures and updated technology to prevent a similar disaster from occurring.
The replacement shuttle is currently in development and is expected to be ready for launch in the next few years.
Yes, the replacement shuttle will be able to perform the same missions as the Columbia, including scientific research and space exploration.
The funding for the new shuttle is being provided by NASA and the government, as well as private partnerships and investments.
