One of the main missions of the re-usable shuttles, was to be the vehicle used to build-out the space station. That work is complete. Trips to and from the ISS can be done by other countries, new technologies, and private enterprises (like Branson/Rutan). NASA's new focus is supposed to be interplanetary in nature, however there's little funding for any of it at this time.
