Random Riddle: The Space Shuttle Riddles Mar 082025 Why is it that a plane is allowed to take off and fly in a thunderstorm, but the space shuttle is not? Show answer The exhaust plume of the space shuttle effectively grounds the space shuttle for a considerable part of its initial flight. Therefore, the shuttle could be struck by lightning. A plane is not grounded, so it does not conduct lightning. Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
