The final Space Shuttle has landed… Now what??

The Space Shuttle Since 1981, NASA space shuttles have been rocketing from the Florida coast into Earth orbit. The five orbiters — Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour — have flown more than 130 times, carrying over 350 people into space and travelling more than half a billion miles, more than enough to reach Jupiter. Designed to return to Earth and land like a giant glider, the shuttle was the world's first reusable space vehicle. More than all of that, though, the shuttle program expanded the limits of human achievement and broadened our understanding of our world.

How did they come up with the statement that it would take approximately 13.4 African Elephants to equal the weight of the Space Shuttle Columbia?

,, But the shuttles have taken their last flights, and they have all been moved to various places. Maybe you saw them flying by?

Now What? On May 31, 2012, SpaceX successfully completed the historic mission that made Dragon the first commercial spacecraft to visit the International Space Station. Previously, only four governments — the United States, Russia, Japan and the European Space Agency — had achieved this challenging technical feat.

Dragon is a free-flying, reusable spacecraft developed by SpaceX under NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program. Initiated by SpaceX in 2005, the Dragon spacecraft is made up of a pressurized capsule and unpressurized trunk used for transport of pressurized cargo, unpressurized cargo, and/or crew members.

Privatizing Space Discussion What does privatization mean? Why would they do it? What will this change?

Dragon Highlights Fully autonomous rendezvous and docking with manual override capability in crewed configuration 6,000 kg (13,228 lbs) payload up-mass; 3,000 kg (6,614 lbs) payload down-mass Payload Volume: 10 m 3 (350 ft 3 ) pressurized, 14 m 3 (490 ft 3 ) unpressurized Dragon is 7.2 meters (23.6 feet) tall, including the trunk, and 3.66 meters (12 feet) in diameter. With the solar panels fully extended, the vehicle measures 16.5 meters (54 feet) wide. Supports up to 7 passengers in crew configuration

Hmmm? About how many Dragons long is a space shuttle? Illustrate your answer and show all work that helped you come up with your drawing.
