This recession is digging it’s hells into even the most venerable of institutions! NASA, the space people, have begun selling off their unused space shuttles. Most of these spaceships were manufactured in the 1970s. They are going for about half of “retail” price. This puts a shuttle at anywhere fro m$28 million to $42 million. There’s a bonus, however. NASA will throw in the engine for free. These shuttle engines alone can cost a cool million so it’s not a bad deal. Now when you say “One of these days, BANG, to the moon!” you can actually mean it!
