The Space Shuttle

After the Apollo program that sent people to the Moon, the U.S. built the Space Shuttle, that is like a jet-plane that can go to space and return (with the help of rockets of course)! The Space Shuttle helped to construct the ISS (International Space Station) among another things.

The last space shuttle mission is on June 28, 2011, but it will be replaced with new vehicles that will take mankind to the Moon, Mars, and beyond!
