Isn't part of the problem the nature of the shuttle itself. It is an
all in one crew and cargo launch vehicle, orbiter, reentry shield and
glider. The concept of a space truck looked good on paper, but became
something of a white elephant designed by committee by the time it got
to the launch pad.
It is the most incredible vehicle ever built. That's what's wrong with
it.
