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.
Where do the space shuttles get lauched?

Why is oxygen important for space travel?
On unmanned missions, its only requirement is as a combustion agent for the Hydrogen fuel used as a propellant. In manned missions, it is also required so that the astronauts can breathe without the need for a space-suit (at least inside the capsule/lander/shuttle/station). It is mixed with nitrogen and pressurised to simulate conditions on Earth (partly).
