Well it was canceled because NASA is instituting a new rocket called the Ares and they are having a whole new program called Constellation. They want to put people on Mars with these and you cannot do that with the space shuttle. And they are also doing it because they are stupid really. The space shuttles make way more sense then the new program they are going to have -.-
