Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered how people can fly all the way up to space? Well, there's something called a space shuttle that helps us do just that!

A space shuttle is like a special rocket plane that can take people and things into space. It's really big, and it has wings like an airplane, which help it glide back to Earth after its space adventure.

The space shuttle is carried into the sky by powerful rockets. It's like a giant firework, but instead of going up and then falling down, it keeps going up into space.

Once in space, the space shuttle can do many things. It can carry astronauts to a space station, where they live and work for a while. It can also carry special packages or even satellites that help us talk on the phone and watch TV.

After the space shuttle is done with its job, it needs to come back home. It falls through the sky and uses its wings to slow down, just like an airplane does when it lands. It lands on a long runway, just like the planes you see at the airport.

Space shuttles are very important because they help us learn more about space and our planet. They've even helped us take pictures of Earth from far away. If you are also interested in space shuttles, follow today's tutorial to learn how to draw one!
