Space Shuttle has to reach 17,500 miles per hour to go into orbit. A bullet only travels about 2,000 miles per hour.

Here is the true question grasshopper. What is faster, the space shuttle before launch, or a bullet before being fired?

The velocity range of bullets can vary from rather slow velocities, like 200 m/s, to ultrasonic, which is more like 1000 m/s. Assault rifle bullets often have muzzle velocities of 900 m/s.
On the other hand, to get into orbit, and object must travel faster than approximately 8000m/s, so you could say that a typical Shuttle travels 8 times as fast as a typical bullet

Eventually the space shuttle is faster, but it takes a while to get there.
Bullet (fired from a tank, approx max speed for a bullet)
1,800 m/s=5090.5 fps
Space shuttle (may go faster) 7,725 m/s=25344.4fps

The Space Shuttle travels about 18,000 miles per hour, or about 26,400 feet per second.
One of the fastest bullets is the .22 swift, which travels about 4000 feet per second.
The Space Shuttle is much faster.

What makes you think of launching an area commute will exchange the colour of flowers? they are nonetheless loaded with chlorophyll and as green as they ever have been. Are you suggesting that the area commute no longer without postpone alters the chlorophyll, possibly bonding iron to it to remodel it into purple hemoglobin? (the two are particularly fairly comparable in shape.) How ought to launching an area commute accomplish considered one of these element and what makes you have self belief that is even happening? And the earth nonetheless has the 4 seasons basically because it continuously did. and whether it did no longer what ought to that probable might desire to do with the area commute? yet while it particularly concerns you the commute is due for retirement via 2010, to get replaced via the hot Ares launcher. wager which will please you, huh?

Velocity needed to escape earth's gravity is about seven (7) miles per second, and that's way faster than any bulley.

the faster thing would be the bullet

I would say a bullet, but there are many variables, such as distances traveled, a bullet can only travel so far.
