NASA is planning to retire the space shuttles in the next year or so, but once they’re done with them, they’re going to offer them up to interested buyers. Yes, the space shuttles are for sale.
And, they’ve dropped the price. When the initially announced the sale, in late 2008, they estimated that the price of the shuttles, including shipping from the Kennedy Space Center to an airport, would be $42 million.
Good news, millionaires! Space shuttles must go! They’ve reduced the price to a crazy-low $28 million — and they’ll throw in the engines for free (you must pay shipping and handling and, as the New York Times wryly notes, “assembly will be required.”)
