The space shuttle is a reusable vehicle. With the Saturn V and other rockets, the stages are just fuel containers, and only a small part of the entire rocket (the crew module) ever came back to Earth, and even that couldn't be used again. The shuttle has the orbiter's engines with a single-use fuel tank and two recoverable solid-fuel boosters. The orbiter returns and lands on Earth, and the solid-fuel boosters are recovered from the ocean and refilled.
