was it realistically the best option for a shuttle?

This, like shuttle but not the retarded launch platform, something like this original concept

Shuttles biggest mistake was the SRB and side mounted launch platform, SRB malfunction doomed one shuttle, and foam strike doomed the other, neither of these would be an issue on such a launch platform

I hate how much political bullshit like this gets in the way of space development

I wonder what a more realistic KSP would be like, a middle ground between KSP and maybe Orbiter, where you still have the freedom to build what rocket and spacecraft designs you want but are more constrained by realistic physics and rocket mechanics and real-world considerations all though only to a point where it doesn't get in the way of creating cool shit.

So like if you had unlimited budget and slightly advanced technology compared to today, what could such a space program achieve
