My home life, growing up, was like tumbling inside a washing machine as I shuttled around the middle of Kentucky with my mother. She was never content to stay in one place, or with one man, for too long. She was as smart as she was independent, though, and always landed some job that brought in a little money.

Heathrow is conveniently located for airlines to shuttle the global elite between different routes. These flights disturb the peace of millions, disrupting lessons across west London and dumping toxic gases on people living around the airport. Their passengers don't pay a penny in taxes.

Will Smith

I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class.

As skills and energy became more of a demand, people who didn't have skills just got left behind, got shuttled to the side. Education didn't keep up with their promise. Education didn't prepare them for this new world. Jobs went overseas.

The pressure suit helps if something goes wrong during launch or re-entry - astronauts have a way to parachute off the shuttle. The suits protect you from loss of pressure in case of emergency.

American Astronaut

Christa McAuliffe

My job in space will be to observe and write a journal. I am also going to be teaching a class for students on earth about life in space and on the space shuttle and conducting experiments.

The space shuttle was designed, at least in part, to broaden our knowledge of the universe. To scientists, the vehicle was a tool; to engineers, it was their creation.

American Author

Linda M. Godwin

Although I know a lot of the previous shuttle flights, in theory, had their tasks laid out; but there were still some changes that came along for them.

Gene Cernan

Get the shuttle out of the garage. It's in its prime of its life. How could we just put it away?

Santiago Calatrava

I always admired the U.S. as the country of the space shuttle, of technological achievement.

Spanish Architect

Used for transport that repeatedly moves between two points, often on a fixed schedule.

Transportation Regularity

Often implies short to medium distances, not cross-country or international trips.

Short Distances

Highlights the convenience of not needing to arrange your own transportation.

Convenience

Used specifically in the context of weaving textiles, not for other activities.

Weaving Specific

Evokes traditional images of handloom weaving, although modern machines also use shuttles.

Traditional Image

Not a familiar term outside the textile industry, may need explanation.

Technical Term

Refers to transporting both people and goods, not exclusively one or the other.

Not Just People

Implies multiple trips over a period of time rather than just one-off transportation.

Frequent Trips

Specific to spacecraft designed to be reused for multiple missions, unlike single-use rockets.

Reusable Spacecraft

The space shuttle is built for orbit around Earth, not for deep space exploration.

Orbit-Specific

The term can evoke the era of the NASA Space Shuttle program, which has historical importance.

Historical Significance

 associated with it but we could write out how to do that this is an issue that we have to think about how do you grab something that's going to capture us going into the future this is a picture of me on the space shuttle so if I didn't tell you that if you didn't know who I was or if you weren't really like a space cake this almost looks like it

 So the space shuttle ended up costing a billion dollars per flight. Obviously that doesn't work very well for — What just happened there? We just saw something land? That's right. So it's important that the rocket stages be able to come back, to be able to return to the launch site and be ready to launch again within a matter of hours.

 And this is why our species has prospered around the world while the rest of the animals sit behind bars in zoos, languishing. That's why we build space shuttles and cathedrals while the rest of the world sticks sticks into the ground to extract termites.
