You could get 10 new satellites in space for the cost of a single shuttle mission.
Let's face it, the shuttle is a dead project and needs to be put to rest, and so is the ISS that was created solely to give the shuttle a destination. Together, they do nothing of use proportionate to the expense.
It's time we updated to modern technology. I bet we can do a LOT better now, in 2004, than we can with this 20-year-old tech.
