After space shuttles are no longer able to fly, NASA sells them to museums, and schools. Recently NASA has cut down the prices of the shuttles from 42 million dollars to 28.8 million dollars each.
The space shuttles Atlantis and the Endeavour are up for grabs. NASA might even put the Enterprise, which was a shuttle prototype, up for sale. People who want to buy the shuttles have to send a offer no later than Feb. 19th.

Karina, Do you know anyone who has ever worked in our aeronautic industry? I was alive when we stayed up all night to watch the landing on the moon. America was so proud of those men that risked their lives.
ReplyDeleteHow thrilling it is to think that our science museum might have the opportunity to purchase and display this part of history. Thanks for sharing.
