C’mon, the only useful thing the shuttle does
is to help take care of the
Hubble Telescope.

and even that is debateable,
as a portion of the Shuttle budget would
pay for a bunch of ‘launch-em-thats-it’
Hubble clones

It also can service the ISS.

I know I know.. ;-)

the Shuttle is our heavy lift vehicle. without it a lot of the ISS is not in place.
(I am not a fan of the ISS....it is globalism at is best and it should have been the USSS. )

that being said it is America being ahead of the rest of the world and it is necessary for out future to move forward....whereas his royal highness Barack Hussein Obama wants us to be a third world power and apologizes for everything we do. The money we spend on it is a pittance compared to what the Turd in Chief is literally throwing in the toilet.

No kidding. They send 6 repair missions. For that kind of money they could have launched a couple of reliable replacements.
