Apparently NASA is going to give away the old shuttles and spare parts for them (engines, fuel tanks, etc) for FREE!
(but the shipping and handling costs are horrible) http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12...giveaway_plan/
"The proud new owners will need to stump up an estimated $42m in decommissioning and delivery charges for a shuttle and $400-$800k for a main engine, exclusive of shipping."
May I point out the word exclusive :P?
42mill + s&h is not free...
little more then i have in my wallet right now....
