There is one advantage to manned space shuttles; they can allow us to observe and prepare for the inevitable difficulties that humans will encounter if long periods of space flight are necessary. It does not offer any other scientific benefit, and anything greater than a low-earth orbit would just be excessive.
However, it does have one more effect; a political effect that is basically saying "I'm better than you". This only applies in milestones (such as the eventual first person to mars, then the asteroid belt, then the moons of Jupiter, and so on).

∙ 14y agoThe main advantage of manned exploration is that you have human intelligence on the spot to deal with the unexpected, whether that's equipment failure or a scientific find. A glitch like an antenna that won't deploy might be a minor repair task rather than a mission-crippling failure. Also, a person on the spot can observe and evaluate much more efficiently than the people back at Mission Control can, and can adapt to new conditions. It also eliminates the time-lag problem. Remote-controlled vehicles like the Mars rovers have to move slowly and deliberately because their controllers on Earth see what happens several minutes after it does. Compare that to the Apollo lunar rovers leaving a roostertail of dust as they rolled along.
