There's something unquantifiable about the shuttle, though.
Downvote me for this, because it's offtopic, and silly, but seeing the shuttle perched up there with those huge tanks of fuel strapped to it's chest reminds me of my dog when I come home from work.
She just looks excited. The rockets don't. They don't have as much personality.
Every time I see the shuttle, it looks like it's happy, and it's excited to be going to space. The rockets just look like hammers.

Actually, it kindof does look like a dog's nose: http://www.enstoneflyingclubblog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/20...
