Sure, if you want, and your stick is big enough you could backup all you want to your USB device.

If I would want to backup Celestia to USB now, I would need a USB stick the size of 16 GB... :?
Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 120 GB SSD + 1 TB hdd, nVidia GTX460 1 GB, Celestia 1.6.0.xxxx

Yes you can. I have mine on a 32GB flash drive. :)

Yes you can do that. You can then run it from the flash drive and copy it to as many other computers as you want without having to install it. The whole thing is portable because it doesn't change the registry or inject DLLs into Windows, or anything else other software often does during installation. Copy the Celestia folder to a flash drive. Then put the drive into another computer and you can run it there. :D
