And Finally... For sale: Space shuttle, one careful owner, tax & MOT - offers

By James Shepherd on Jan 18, 10 01:00 PM in News

Nasa is selling three of its most famous space shuttles - at a 30% discount.

The agency planned to offload Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavour, with 86 missions between them, for £27million each when they are retired later this year.

But it has now cut the price to £17million. Around 20 buyers showed interest when they were first put on the market just over a year ago.

Spokesman Mike Curie said: "We're confident we'll get other takers." Nasa expects science organisations, schools and museums to bid.
