NASA will be announcing where the retiring space shuttles will go on display once the program ends this summer.
Twenty-one museums and centers around the country put in bids for the spaceships. NASA is disclosing the winners Tuesday on the 30th anniversary of the first space shuttle launch in 1981.
The shuttle program is winding down with only two more flights left. Shuttle Discovery ended its flying career last month and it's going to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.
Up for grabs are shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis and the prototype Enterprise.
Some of the hot contenders are visitor centers at Kennedy Space Center and Johnson Space Center, the Air Force Museum in Ohio and museums in New York City, Seattle and Chicago.
Welcome
Welcome to my blog. I update this as often as I can with news that you might not see on the major networks as my main focus. I welcome any and all comments, and I have content at the bottom of the page everyday. Personal blurb: My personal belief is that the US Constitution's first amendment (which talks about the freedom of speech) extends to the Internet. For this reason, I have the comments setting set up to have comments go up immediately. If you comment anonymously, you will have to go through a word verification step. I will keep the setting as-is as long as the comments are kept 'G' rated. Thanks and I hope you keep coming back.
