Space Shuttles up for sale. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/20 ... uttle-sale
It could be the ultimate Christmas present for anyone who can afford the stellar price tag: Nasa has announced plans to sell off its space shuttles when they stop flying in 2010, at a cost of at least $42m apiece – postage and packing included.
If I bought me one of these ... I’d plant it on my desert property and gut it out. Then … I’d install carpet , 20inch fridge , and a big screen TV to make a weekend house out of it. Later I’d add a sun deck with wooden steps leading down to the trout pond stalked with trout and bluegill. Before the wind kicks up I’d better get out the "Q" and fire up some T-Bone steaks.
to be honest this is vry very sad. I mean we don't have any replacment for them yet, ay behind scedual on the new system which is a step backwards in my eyes as its going back to old rocket styles. Mind you the shuttle is not what nasa wanted, they had other toys they wanted to make which would blow the shuttle out of the watter but money its all money.

Maybe the Canadian government can buy them so they can start their own shuttle program? LOL
