Correct answer.

Lift vehicles should be replaced, orbiters should continue to be used.

Original Space Shuttle plans were for a space plane lift vehicle, instead of the oxygen/aluminum "bomb" trio they ended up strapping it to for launch (keeping a straight face when the first one blew up must have been hard).

Put the damn thing on a reusable lift vehicle, as it should have been deployed in the first place, and it will continue to be a lower cost sustainable workhorse for years to come.
