No.
Space shuttles used to land at Kennedy Space Center in Florida or Edwards Air Force Base in California.
While they flew, the space shuttles were the only reusable space vehicle. Even they no longer fly.
Space shuttles fly in the thermosphere layer of the Earth's atmosphere, which is located between 80-550 kilometers above the Earth's surface. This layer is characterized by a very low density of gas molecules and high temperatures due to intense solar radiation.
Yes. Columbia was the first of the space shuttles to actually fly into space. The first recognizable 'space shuttle' was called the Enterrprise. It was built to do glide and landing tests before the Columbia flew into space in 1981.
