It cost $196billion over 40 years, ended the lives of 14 astronauts and managed to make less than half the flights promised. But I think the same complexity is what makes them beautiful, he said. By comparison, 40 launches were required to build the International Space Station, which sits in low-Earth orbit  far closer than the moon. Two of the shuttles - Challenger and Columbia - were destroyed, one at launch, the other during the ride home. NASA's first space shuttle flight was in April 1981, the last was in July 2011.
41 launches were required to build the worldwide space station, which sits in low-Planet orbit  far closer than the moon. two of the shutvis of hercrafts crude metal.
