The shuttle flights go to about 240 miles out, the sats are 22,000!
I betcha if the engineers wanted to they could send the shuttle to that orbit...they might not be able to get back but they could do it. Regardless, this is all a joke and you guys take things a little to serious.
Obviously it's a joke.
However, they could not get the shuttle to that orbit. It's not possible. The shuttle is designed for LEO only and can't go elsewhere.
funny as a fart in a space suit.NASA WILL LAUNCH A SPACE SHUTTLE (soon) to provice Direct TV customers with 100 plus HD channels. It appears they left a few parts off D10 so it is unable to transmit.
NASA will be sending up a shuttle equipped with a Wal-Mart hdtv antenna and will provide dtv customers with 100 HD channels by 6am Saturday morning. Please plan your parties accordingly !!!!
Reception may be a little spotty as they are balancing the antenna on the robotic arm, Don't sweat it, we got ya covered !!!
Sorry, couldn't resist !!!
Sorry Einstein, Which shuttle ever went to the moon?This space shuttle isn't the same one that went to the moon my friend.
Completely different!
Actually, I think that fuel is the main problem. If NASA or the Russians launched a fuel tank into orbit that the shuttle could dock with, then ...Obviously it's a joke.

This is very funny!!! This was meant as a joke. For people to argue what the space shuttle can and can not do detracts from that.
Nope.
Again, the thread was meant as a joke. I was referring to the movie Armageddon. You know that movie in which they launch a couple of shuttles to go destroy the asteroid that's coming to hit us and they stop at the Space Station to re-fuel. Yep, that one.
Great, now people are going to be asking when the shuttle launch is
