We wasted 40 years and 14 lives on the shuttle program when we could have been prepping for long term habitual living on the surface of the moon as well as prepping for a manned mission to Mars.
Shuttle was designed to be a part of long-term exploration until the budget hacks got to NASA.

The Shuttle orbiters were basically worn out out when we stopped flying them, to continue using them even if the budget was available would have been asking for another disaster. They also never met the original design goals, it was much more expensive to operate,and turn around time between missions was far longer than originally anticipated.
