Start Saving To Buy Your Space Shuttle Now

stoolpigeon writes "With the retirement of the shuttle drawing near, NASA has begun to plan for museums that may want a used orbiter of their own. The Orlando Sentinel reports that NASA issued an RFI to US educational institutions, science museums and other organizations to see if they would be interested in the orbiter while also able to cover the estimated $42 million cost of 'safeing' the shuttle and transporting it."

The fit and finish of a fine automobile is nothing compared to an orbiter or even the older Apollo spacecraft, which are still marvels to behold. I know, I've traveled around to see all the ones that are available for viewing. I don't think you grasp the complexity of these machines whatsoever.

I guess you missed it

Still I figure after the magic has worn off Obama will have just as low ratings as Bush does now, I don't think it will take him as many years to get there. We just cannot afford to continue using the US Taxpayer as an unlimited source of money for failed institutions and failed people.
