There is one advantage to manned space shuttles; they can allow us to observe and prepare for the inevitable difficulties that humans will encounter if long periods of space flight are necessary. It does not offer any other scientific benefit, and anything greater than a low-earth orbit would just be excessive.
However, it does have one more effect; a political effect that is basically saying "I'm better than you". This only applies in milestones (such as the eventual first person to mars, then the asteroid belt, then the moons of Jupiter, and so on).
