The G force on a Space Shuttle at takeoff is 3G. This lasts until the SRBs (Solid Rocket Boosters) quit.
DUDE, your so wrong! Try 6 + More G forces... On a realistic average. Just ask NASA.
6+G would get the shuttle going way too fast too low, and it would rip apart with air flow pressure. first answer is right, if actually a slight over estimate. one of those Gs is actually 1G of lovely earthly gravity too. it barely accelerates at 2G. (just ask NASA) or anyone who's sustained 6Gs for two minutes.

Can a space shuttle take off from a runway?
The space shuttle has to start straight up, like a rocket.
How does a space shuttle lift off the ground so easily?
it dosent, its very hard to get a space shuttle off the ground it uses thaousands of pounds of force to lift it.
What are the two forces acting when a space shuttles take off?
The two forces acting on a space shuttle during take off and throughout its ascent through the atmosphere are Thrust and Weight. Moreover, there is also a drag force in the direction of the weight, i.e., opposite to the motion of the space shuttle. Hope that's what you were looking for. :)
