Can you fly while you are in a space shuttle in space?
You may have seen photos or videos of astronauts who appear to be floating through the air while in space. They aren't flying, nor are they really floating, they are falling. Any orbiting spacecraft (such as the space shuttle or international space station) is actually falling around the Earth in a circular pattern. They have achieved enough speed (over 17,000 mph) to continue moving around the Earth without the Earth's gravity pulling the spacecraft down. Astronauts aboard those spacecraft are moving inside the spacecraft and falling along with them at the same speed giving the appearance that they flying or floating inside.
What does spacewalk mean?
A spacewalker is an astronaut who goes outside of the spacecraft while in space. This is called extravehicular activity (EVA) and is usually done to perform inspection or repair of the exterior of the spacecraft.

What is the difference between 'spacecraft' and 'space shuttle'?
A spacecraft is a general name for a vehicle that can be launched into space. The space shuttles are a particular type of NASA spacecraft used for the Space Transportation System programme to move people, supplies and parts into space and back again. Also the reason why spacecrafts are more versatile than a spacecraft is that a space shuttle allows a living organism to live in space for a long period of time. While the spacecraft orbits around the earth several times and then comes back down to earth.
How do rockets without fire fly while they are in space?
An object in motion will continue to move at the same speed and in the same direction unless some force acts on it. So there is no need to continuously fire rockets in space. That is only needed if the spacecraft needs to change speed or direction. When spacecraft is on orbit, gravity constantly pulls it toward the object it is orbiting, but it is moving fast enough that, in simple terms, it will constantly miss.
What do you call a small space rock while it is orbiting in space much larger and it would be an asteroid?
