What makes space shuttles different from other spacecraft's?
What makes the space shuttles different than other space craft is that they are reusable. Most spacecraft are used one time, then disposed of. The Russian Soyuz and the American Apollo spacecraft are examples of this. Another difference is the way they return to Earth. After other spacecraft reenter Earth's atmosphere, they deploy parachutes and make water landings (US Apollo), or land in snow (Russian Soyuz). The space shuttle lands like an airplane.

Earth's moon has no atmosphere so how does it affect the moon?
* As there is no atmosphere to trap the heat, temperatures on the moon are very extreme ranging from 107°C in the day to -153°C at night. Also, if you step from a sunlight area suddenly into a shadowed area (like behind a big rock), there would be a huge drop in temperature. * Another point is that as there is no atmosphere to slow them down, spacecraft cannot use parachutes to land on the moon.
