I don't know if you want to call it cheaper, but yes, in 2011 the shuttles will be retired and replaced by the Ares I and V. (1&5).

Who was the first teacher to fly on a space shuttle?
Christa Mcauliffe, who did not survive the trip- killed when the Challenger exploded on the way up. She was the first American woman to lose her life in a spacecraft accident- which strictly speaking, did not happen in space- but inside the atmosphere. There were two females also on the Columbia crew- another All-Hands fatal incident, which broke up on re-entry. Mrs. Mcauliffe was a social studies teacher- apart from NASA- not a Biologist which might have been a better choice.
How do astronauts go into space?
Astronauts ride rockets. The space shuttle has a huge liquid fuel booster, along side which two solid rocket motors are attached. This entire assembly blasts off, consuming almost all the fuel. Only a little bit is left in the shuttle itself for deorbit burns and attitude control. Cosmonauts--russian astronauts--boost into space in their Soyuz spacecraft, which is attached to the top of a big rocket. Chinese astronauts are called "taikonauts," which is probably a better word than either astronaut or cosmonaut. Taikonaut could be translated "space sailor," whereas "astro" means "star." Astronauts do not travel between the stars, yet.
What benefits did Apollo 11 bring to science?
Apollo did bring great advantages to science, as the spacecraft was in space, so it was very clear of germs giving a chance to make better medicines , and make things which was not possible to make because of gravity.
Why has the heliocentric model been replaced with the geocentric model?
The heliocentric model is the one that replaces the geocentric model because the heliocentric model better described the solar system.
What makes the Space Shuttle better than previous rockets?
The Space Shuttle is better than previous spacecraft because of the fact that it is reusable. NASA doesn't need to build a new shuttle every time they need to do a mission, they can just do nessasary maitenence and launch it again. Past spacecraft would do the mission, then land in the ocean, and never be used again. The shuttle will land like an airplane, so it isn't destroyed on impact, and it will be used again.
Why is the space shuttle more versatile than earlier spacecraft?
This is because we have better technology today that makes our spacecrafts more versatile. Also, our earlier trips to space have given us better understanding of how to improve in space.
Do we use flying shuttle?
The flying shuttle loom is rarely used today. It was an inefficient design, and was replaced (for the most part) by better, later designs. It may still be used for some special purpose looms, and old looms may still be operated for historical displays.
