Neither was it developed to deploy particle beam weapons. NASA's Shuttle
program was and is designed to deploy and service a manned civilian space 
station. Obviously it can be used for many things, but so can any transportation
system. If NASA has had to seek moral support from the DoD (but not money; the
STS is purely NASA funded), you can blame Walter Mondale and William Proxmire
for trying to eviscerate the civilian space program during the 70's. Pray tell
me, what is the military intending to do with Spacelab and Space Telescope?
