Original Note:
The shuttle was partially reusable. Little on the shuttle could be relaunched without significant maintenance or replacement with 200,000 to 400,000 maintenance hours between each flight and 54 days turnaround. Hence the $1.5 billion launch cost for each mission. Https://www.britannica.com/technology/space-shuttle
