Is stock footage of the Shuttle cheaper? Or are more digital 3-D models of the Shuttle
available online?

Or, given that the _first_ manned spacecraft were ordinary rockets, perhaps it is
assumed that the Shuttle _was_ an inherently more advanced type of craft - so,
eventually, the current ships being used now will become obsolete, and be replaced
by something that somewhat looks like the Space Shuttle.

Or perhaps a Space Shuttle _atop_ a big rocket booster, so that it could, say, deliver
payloads of the same size that the Shuttle delivered to LEO... all the way to an orbit
around the Moon.
