many have already answered about the parachute. but senthil, i just posted above that india is still a land of the mystic. and you closely satisfy that saying.
if you think the shuttle is dropped from the space station with a chute, then you obviusly don't know that the space station is orbiting the earth in near total vacuum (about 350km above). how can you expect to be dropped with a chute from that height?
and even if the space shuttle is "dropped" as you said, then since you must have already seen the shuttle land in the position of an airplane, the chute must be on its top side and not the tail side as you saw.
and one thing, don't be so naive. come to reality. learn physics. get to know about what is beyond the earth and its atmosphere. haven't you ever seen a parachute on a fighter plane that takes off and lands on a sea carrier? if you don't know about these, then i'd recommend you to start watching discovery, national geographic and history channels.
