Your point is well taken. The shuttle wasn't built by DUmmies.. I remember the first launch and landing. A lot of folks were sure it would fall like a rock from the sky.. And it did.. but it fell gracefully.. and landed like a bird.
Can we do better? Sure. Show our engineers the money and we can do it better, safer and cheaper. That's if space exploration is made a priority again, and not just a hobby for some politicians.
