Own Your Own (Replica) ISS Module
AMD-lover writes with word that you can purchase a museum-quality replica of the Destiny laboratory module used on the International Space Station. "Keep in mind the weight of approximately 20,000 pounds and the dimensions of 29 feet by 15 feet. But with a price of $1,650,000.00, it is really a steal."
Slashdot millionaires only, ModuleDestiny?$1,650,000.00?
On another note, here's hoping AMD-lover is not an affiliate, because by slashdoting the site there's a better chance that someone does buy this thing with their left over dot com dollars. And if someone does buy the ModuleDestiny, he/she gets 6% commission.
I can use this to upgrade my museum quality replica of the millenium falcon!
...when the real thing is due to crash into my backyard in 10 years time due to maintainance budget cuts?
Beep beep.
it only costs $5.16 per ounce. good deal ;)
And to think I was this close to getting it when I saw the fine print:

In my life I have had a chance to buy some pretty odd things, some I bought some I didnt, of the many things I didnt buy there are a few that haunt me, a 1971 Superbird for 5 grand in 1988. and a full scale repilca of the Mercury Capsule in about 1985 for $800 , I dont think anyone except the flight engineers could have told it wasnt real, the fellow that built it spent 15 years building it then passed away, I had a chance to buy it and almost did, but I couldnt imagine where the heck I was going to put it, it was heavy as hell. I wonder what ever happened to it what a work of art
Sure, they may only be asking for $1.65million, but where they will really get ya is on shipping.
