Why was the space shuttle program so important to the success of the hubble space telescope?

Many reasons. For one, the telescope was started and designed specifically with the space shuttle in mind. It was launched on a space shuttle, and only the space shuttle's ability to carry astronauts and capture satellites with the robotic arm made the correctional repairs possible. Several servicing missions by space shuttles have upgraded and replaced vital parts to extend the telescope's life and keep it in orbit. After the Columbia disaster, the space shuttle and telescope's futures were both in question. If the space shuttle never existed, we wouldn't have the Hubble space telescope either.

A second shuttle disaster occurred on 1st February 2003 over Texas and Louisiana, when the Columbia broke apart upon re-entry due to it's heat-resistant blocks breaking off and damaging it's wings.

What years was most significant with regard to America's space program?
That's a matter of opinion. My opinion is that the most significant year was 1957, when the American public was so mortified by the USSR's success at orbiting the first artificial satellite that there was enough public support to get America's space program adequately funded and shifted into high gear.
