OT: NASA giving away free shuttles
 
Apparently NASA is going to give away the old shuttles and spare parts for them (engines, fuel tanks, etc) for FREE!
(but the shipping and handling costs are horrible)

"The proud new owners will need to stump up an estimated $42m in decommissioning and delivery charges for a shuttle and $400-$800k for a main engine, exclusive of shipping."
