NASA ended the Space Shuttle program in 2011 primarily due to safety concerns, high operational costs, and the need to focus resources on new exploration goals. The shuttle had experienced several accidents, including the Challenger disaster in 1986 and the Columbia disaster in 2003, which raised questions about its safety. Additionally, NASA aimed to develop newer spacecraft, such as the Orion, for deep space exploration, and to encourage commercial partnerships for low Earth orbit missions. The decision was part of a broader strategy to advance space exploration while ensuring safety and sustainability.
