What lessons have we learned from the space shuttle program about space shuttles?

The main thing learned is that engineers are fallible and can succumb to both political pressure and become complacent about safety hazards when evidence of a problem appears repeatedly but no gross failure of the system happens (until a sudden disaster causes a total loss of the vehicle).
In other words engineers are people like the rest of us.
