All the capsules are locked together and are secured.
The space station does NOT fly. IT is in space and there is no are for it to fly in. The space station is in Earth Orbit moving at 7.66 kilometres per second.
magic
It doesnt fall apart because of gravity
99.99% of the time they fly to the ISS The International Space Station
about 350 miles is where the international space station is.
It takes 2 days. You might think that that's a long time for a space shuttle to go to the space station. Especially when you know that it takes about 2 minutes for the space shuttle to go into space. But here's why: The space station is orbiting the earth, and so will the space shuttle when it goes into space. If it goes faster though, it will fly away from the earth's atmosphere and get lost in outer space. So the Space Shuttle goes slightly faster so it will catch up, but not too fast so that it will fly off into outer space. That's why it takes 2 days.
hooks up to the space station they just fly into space, where they are put into orbit around earth. when in orbit, they can hook up to flying objects to do repairs or building.
Estimates place the value at around 30 to 40 MILLION dollars!!!!
Helen Sharman did NOT fly to the moon. (No woman has yet flown to the moon.) She did however travel into space on 18 May 1991 on Soyuz TM-12 and spent eight days at the Mir space station.

Astronauts are people who fly in space
Astronauts currently work in six month shifts on the international space station. A single astronaut might fly only once in his career. Others, however, have flown as many as five or six times! (Astronaut training is expensive.)
