Does space travel cause more damage to the ozone layer than anything else?

Yes.
But less than the hundreds of thousands of overflights by aircraft that it replaces.
Nature does far more to the ozone layer then a million shuttles a month could do. The main issues with the thinning of the ozone are the lack of sun hitting the layer. That is why the "hole" is a annual event and is self healing. We also know the largest thinning of the ozone layer occurred over 100 years ago during an unusually high solar flare era. The concept that man is a major contributor to the thinning is questionable. The major issues are certainly and unquestionably natural. Man's involvement, if actual, is a recent issue and the natural aspects of this hole can positively be traced back hundreds of years.
