Smallest space shuttle?
There weren't different sizes of space shuttles There should be zero difference in size, even down to fractions of millimeters, if NASA did their job right
Name of the first shuttle launched?
that would be the Columbia it was the oldest in the fleet with a total of 28 missions under its belt
What jobs are there in NASA?
There are many jobs at NASA and there are so many that you can go into almost anything that interests you. If you like science and math then you could be a rocket scientist. You could also of course be an Astronaut, but that takes a lot of training and there's still no real guarantee that you'll go into space. You could also work on the computer for the space shuttle if you like and know how to program. The last one I can think of is to work on making the space shuttle, but this will take tons of qualifications and you must complete a NASA evaluation so it's best that you get another job building things with tools before you attempt that job. Also you can check the related link I got from NASA's website about jobs.
Where can one find information about a job at Space Station?
You can find information about a job at Space Station by going to Space Station and asking or on the Internet. The best place to find reliable information about a job at Space Station would be their official website.

Where did Sally Ride worked?
Sally Kristen Ride (born May 26, 1951) is an American former astronaut who in 1983 became the first American woman to reach outer space. Sally Ride is the most bravest American woman I have ever heard of. Because I really would not do that, but I think it would be fun and really being an astronaut is a hard job. So if you want to be a astronaut, then you need to have the gut's to be one. Ok so Sally Ride is a really importent job so really think about it.
