$42 Million for a space ship is quite a bargain,
actually.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.
I bet they'd make
great hurricane shelters. Close the hatch and ride that bitch out! Beats the shit out of a FEMA trailer.
