yfw when you reaslize that the primary role of space shuttle was a tactical orbital bomber and that it has ostensibly only ever been used as a space u-haul

well yea the main purpose of Ccapturing Von Braun was the U.S. military wanted his weapons delivery tech
I'd need a source on the Shuttle claim. Seems inefficient unless it deployed a self propelled ordinance.
from wiki
cargo bay 18m long 4.6m diameter
payload capacity 22,600kg
put it this way, if it hadn't occurred to the government to put a bomb in it they wouldn't be doing their jobs
a b-52 has a capacity of 32,000kg
This thread needs some Dynatron.
