Space Shuttle

Does it seem the Space Shuttle's only mission is too see if it can successfully renter earth's atmosphere without exploding?

It's like the space shuttle goes out to space, does a flip so NASA can see if the tiles on its underbelly were damaged and, thereby, withstand reentry.

I once read somewhere that a new model of aircraft has to be flown at least 200 times before it is no longer considered experimental. Given that we're at Shuttle flight 121, the answer to your question is actually "yes".
