Prices Slashed in NASA’s Space Shuttle Sale
NASA is shutting down the space shuttle program and so is trying to sell off its remaining merchandise at increasingly low prices. It’s already slashed the price for a (pre-owned) shuttle from $42 million to $28.8 million:
When the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in December 2008 put out the call seeking buyers at museums, schools and elsewhere, the agency received about 20 inquiries. An agency spokesman, Mike Curie, said he expected more interest, especially with the discount.
“We’re confident that we’ll get other takers,” Mr. Curie said Friday.
The Discovery is already promised to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. The Atlantis and the Endeavour are up for grabs. It is possible that the Enterprise, a shuttle prototype that never made it to space, will also be available. The Enterprise is currently at the Smithsonian.
