Two of the shuttles - Challenger and Columbia - were destroyed, one at launch, the other during the ride home. It cost $196billion over 40 years, ended the lives of 14 astronauts and managed to make less than half the flights promised. By comparison, 40 launches were required to build the International Space Station, which sits in low-Earth orbit  far closer than the moon. Theres nothing like that on planet Earth. But its failures were also large and tragic.
The shuttle did not cause these deaths.
