NASA Plans To Give Old Shuttles Away

Here is your chance to have your very own Space Shuttle...kind of. NASA in addressing what to do with the space shuttles once they retire in 2010 are soliciting proposals as to where these shuttles should call their final home. Most likely, those who are associated with institutions such as museums and higher learning will have a better chance than others.

Sponsored by NASA's Office of Infrastructure, the RFI seeks input from appropriate officials and decision makers from museums, science centers, institutions, and other organizations dedicated to education or educational outreach with experience in public display of space hardware and nationally-recognized historical artifacts," NASA said in a release. NASA will use information gained from this RFI to develop strategies for eventual placement of two space shuttle orbiters and a minimum of six unassembled space shuttle main engine display "kits."
