NASA announced that the cost of buying a used space shuttle for display in your museum, educational facility or backyard has dropped from $42 million to the low, low, low price of just $28.8 million, reports The Houston Press.
And that’s not all!!
The delivery of these fine, almost one-of-a-kind vehicle has been moved up by six months!! Six months!!! IF YOU ACT NOW. (Actually, you have until February 19.)
NASA is absorbing the cost of “safeing” the vehicles, resulting in the price drop.
The agency’s release is pretty dry (“The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is issuing a Follow-up Request for Information (RFI) to obtain input from educational institutions, science museums, and other appropriate organizations about the community’s ability to acquire and publicly display the Space Shuttle Orbiters after conclusion of the Space Shuttle Program”).
