The Shuttle is/was a molloch that never worked the way NASA said it
would and gradually took up a greater proportion of resources. A lot
of unmanned exploration was cancelled because of the Shuttle. It
cannot be denied that science today would be more advanced if the
Shuttle had never been built.

Sure it can. Shuttle has very little to do with science. If the
Shuttle hadn't been built, there's no reason to think the savings
would have gone to science.

If you look you will find that projects were specifically cancelled to
pay for Shuttle repairs and overuns.

And absent the Shuttle program, those projects might not have ever
existed in the first place.
