    CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA's soon-to-be-retired space shuttles are up for grabs.
    The space agency said Wednesday it's looking for ideas on where and how best to display its space shuttles once they stop flying in a few years. It's put out a call to schools, science museums and "other appropriate organizations" that might be interested in showcasing one of the three remaining shuttles.
    Beware: NASA estimates it will cost about $42 million to get each shuttle ready and get it where it needs to go, and the final tab could end up much more.
    The estimate includes $6 million to ferry the spaceship atop a modified jumbo jet to the closest major airport. But the price could skyrocket depending on how far the display site is from the airport. Only indoor, climate-controlled displays will be considered.


    Dude if i won one of those huge fucking powerball lotteries
    like 300 million or some shit
    i would throw 60 million down on a Space Shuttle
    why the fuck not?
    "Hey baby want to see my space shuttle, no no it's not in my pants. I have an actual space shuttle in the barn"

    I you'll need a bigger garage. Hard to bring on the bus with you too. Hell you could take it to work everyday.
    "Why are you late John."
    "Oh, I was just orbiting the earth, but couldn't get a window."
