The good thing about the shuttle was that it could also serve as a base for astronauts to work and live for weeks. The ISS couldn't really have been built without it. Getting them there is only part of the problem.
The space shuttle was basically a space RV. The current options are more like a space micro car.
- justinclift 2y agoInteresting point. I'll be interesting to see what SpaceX's Starship enables once it's up an running. Can fit an awful lot of stuff into a single launch from that. :)
