Friendly reminder that Wehrner Von Braun hated the space shuttle and wanted instead to assemble two or three 300' long NERVA-powered Mars ships in orbit in the late 70s out of Skylab-style Saturn V-derived components, each with a crew of 6-12, and aim for a multi-ship manned Mars mission and landing by 1982.

That said, the oldspace obsession with efficiency above all else, including costs, was just Wehrner's rampant Germanic autism allowed to run completely unimpeded.
