Their second was the Shuttle. The early Shuttle goals of being
the one and only universal, cheap, reusable spacecraft shows
the the hubris of the second system effect.

How would you classify the Block II Apollo spacecraft?

A debugged version of the first generation spacecraft. They fixed a lot
of problems, but the goals didn't change, and the overall architecture
was pretty much the same. 3 man crew, expendable, two week duration, CM
& SM, a big enough rocket to do lunar orbit entry/exit, pure oxygen
atmosphere, fuel cells for electricity, ocean splashdown rather than
wheels and runway landing ...
