I thought the Smithsonian currently has Enterprise which was a test model (glider) that was never actually outfitted for orbital work? And that's the one that is slated to move to Intrepid...


Edit: Damn, Anthony's post above beat me to it

Yeah, enterprise flew in atmosphere. Nothing mock about it. Fun fact: in the late eighties when my old man found out it was at dulles he packed us all in the car and drove down to try and see it. Found the airport manager's office and played on his status as an army officer to get us a private viewing of the thing. It was parked off in some forgotten corner of the airport next to a few other decaying hulks and wouldn't you know it? My toddling ass ran up and kicked it.

True story

That was the day I discovered you can get away with anything if you act like you belong there

Ever walk into a police station, past the front desk into the offices and start going through filing cabinets?

You don't have to be a cop to do it.

I wouldn't imagine one would..

DC or the Cape.

If you want the natural home for it, it's defintiely the Cape. Houston is not even a close second for that. The Cape is by far the natural home of the shuttle.

#4 to ny

IF DC/Cape/Cali is getting one. I don't really know where the 4th belongs. Not Houston or NY though. Maybe some small town that could use it to make some tourist money that has importance to the shuttle program.

No, Houston is a big shitty city that was only good for shipping the losers out of the NOLA after Katrina. That's what they deserve, more undesirables from our other cities, not space shuttles.
