Step right up! Yes folks, for just $28 million (£14 million), you can be the proud owner of a genuine NASA Space Shuttle when the fleet is retired later this year. One of the three remaining vehicles is already promised to the Smithsonian Museum, leaving TWO incredible opportunities to own a piece of spaceflight history at a fraction of the development cost. This has to be the deal of the year. Buyer collects. Solid booster rockets sold separately.

I've always wanted a real Apollo spacesuit, myself.

Any Tax and MOT still in force on that?

You see, that's how they get you - you're stiffed on the rockets every time. And how are you supposed to get it home without rockets? You don't have to work for NASA to see how these guys are thinking...

Wow less than $30 Mi. ! A bargain...

How many miles on the clock ?

Can it be adapted for UK left hand drive ?

Is Richard Branson bidding?

Yeah, it's not exactly rocket science...

Hmm... wonder what the neighbors would say if I put that in the garden!

When you go out to eat at mid-day you could leave a sign on it saying, Gone to Launch'...

*cringe*

I'd love to see this on Bargain Hunt, with Dickinson haggling some NASA bloke down to sixty quid

Was that joke a spur of the moment thing or did you planet?

Lets just bring this thread back down to earth...

What happens when you buy it.

"Um just strap it to the hood."

There must be enough space in the cargo bay for a small bistro, with a cocktail bar in the flight deck.
