Space Shuttle America
Okay, imagine you are in a really big car. This car can go really, really fast and can fly all the way up into the sky. The car is called the Space Shuttle and it belongs to America.
The Space Shuttle America was a special kind of "car" that was used by NASA, the organization in charge of space stuff in America, to go up into space. It was like a big bus that could hold people and things, and it had wings that could help it glide back down to Earth.
The people who drove the Space Shuttle were called astronauts, and they were very brave because they went into space wearing special suits and had to do important jobs up there. Some astronauts even spent months living in space!
The Space Shuttle America made lots of trips into space, but it was retired in 2011. Now, people use different kinds of "cars" to explore space, but the Space Shuttle America will always be remembered as a really important part of space history in America.
