What are Space Shuttles (Done by Zulfadhli)

This is a chapter about Space Shuttle from the book "The Universe" also made by childcraft.

A space shuttle is a winged rocket plane. It can land on ordinary airfields, and so it can be used many times. A space shuttle is used to launch satelites. It also recovers damaged satelites and returns to Earth . It may be used to carry people or supplies to a space station,too. When it is launch, a shuttle's nose is pointing towards the sky. It is powered by rocket booster motors and powerful engines. All 5 motors are started together. After a few minutes , the empty rocket boosters fall away and parachute to the sea . They are then recovered to use again.

I like this chapter beacause I love the way the chapter turn out. I think this book will be liked by science lovers.
