why do space shuttles roll on to there backs?

Answer 1

Coz shuttles love their tummies tickled!

Answer 2

Do you mean the roll the shuttle does at launch? If so, that's to improve radio communications and to reduce aerodynamic forces on the ship.

Answer 3

they look upside down from outside when theyr doin their mission in space but if ur inside u dont feel upside down....thers no landing space or runways up ther so they just position the shuttle so it can get good signal power and sumtimes shuttles got to connect directly to a station or a huge satellite.thats when it twists n turns to fit in.

Answer 4

at launch, it is to get into a better orientation with the space station for the rendezvous (docking). just prior to docking with the space station, this is called the rendezvous pitch manoeuvre and is performed so the International Space Station crew can photograph the thermal protection system of the orbiter to make sure it can withstand the temperatures of returning to earth and to make sure there is no damage to the orbiter.

Answer 5

They are female so its natural for them to roll over, Just wait until the French start sending up shuttles and see what position they adopt....................

Answer 6

So the astronauts have a nice view instead of looking at inky blackness all day.

Answer 7

Better communication is possible if the signals are not shielded/blocked by the heatshield.

Answer 8

In space there is no 'bottom' so there is no 'right way up'

Answer 9

Because their horny.....!
