Interested parties must promise to display the spacecraft in a climate-controlled indoor location. Only US citizens will be eligible to purchase and display the shuttles, which will be sold with all space-worthy fittings and fixtures except the main engines. Special attention will be paid to ensuring they will retire to appropriate places." "The agency is therefore committed to making placement decisions that are determined to be in the best interest of the American taxpayer. "Nasa is keenly aware of the essential value of these key assets to the space programme's rich history," an official says in a "request for information" document that seeks ideas for the public display of the shuttles after their retirement. So far, it is approaching only educational institutions, science museums and "other appropriate organisations" to gauge interest and assess the size of their chequebooks. Included is the minimum $6m cost of stripping a shuttle of toxic and other hazardous materials, preparing it for travel and flying it to an airport of the buyer's choosing.Īs an agency of the US government, Nasa insists it won't be selling its most prized assets to just anybody.
