It allowed NASA to send up 7 astronauts with each launch during a era when Congress would rather have none. It was far from perfect, but it kept NASA from atrophying away.

Maybe they should have killed less of them.

Or NASA would be doing something else and would have been just fine instead, and attributing the very existing of NASA to shuttle is another pro-shuttle falsely claimed attribution agitprop talking point that you absorbed and repeat.

I will never understand how they arrived at a solution where you needed to risk the life of 7 people just to launch any random comsat.

To keep people interested on Mars, should be arranged some kind of rovers fight, so only one can be left roving Mars.

Shuttle was designed to keep maintenance over some kind of orbital infrastructure.... So /sci/, what kind of space stuff would need constant maintenance for a Shuttle revival?

1. NASA HSF isn't going to be ended during the Cold War when USSR has a HSF program of its own.

2. NASA is an institution that is broadly accepted and continues as such. It is not bargaining for its fate as you would depict it.

3. Congress then isnt as fickle, it's more like they get a bad rap because they aren't "funnel dollars with no oversight to our pet space projects and give us a blank check for our overwrought fantasies".
