The Shuttle is still state of the art aeronautical technology that works in the real world.
Yes, and composed of millions of parts which have been slowly decaying for 20 years. It is a complete waste of money, which should have been used to help develop its replacement.

B-52s are still flying and they are a bit older. Yes, same parts deteriorate but they know what to replace. It's not as if they totally ignore everything when they prepare for a launch.
