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.

This is an odd news article, I guess if NASA can sell off the shuttles, they will have a bit more money to develop new craft.

But who would want one? even NASA doesn't want them anymore!

They would make a good museum piece I suppose.

A whole shuttle a bit too much? How about an engine?

If a space shuttle is too pricey, NASA is offering some of its shuttle main engines for anywhere between $400,000 and $800,000, not counting shipping costs.

Doesn't work, but you get paperwork from Nasa to say it's yours.

No one else can have it, go get it sorta deal..

I dont have link, but it's true
13k they paid for it?

Maybe some one should buy it and put it in a real circus as a joy ride,because Nasa is just one BIG circus and they have been taking us all for a ride....
