<p>I&#8217;m not sure if National Aeronautics and Space Administration has put these up on eBay yet, but two space shuttles are currently for sale for a reported $28.8 million. The <a  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle">space shuttle program</a>, active since 1981, is being moth-balled this year and NASA is clearing out the garage to make room for the next generation of space vehicles.</p>
<p>The New York Times <a  href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/17/science/space/17nasa.html?ref=science">reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Discovery is already promised to the <a  title="museum Web site" href="http://www.nasm.si.edu/">Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum</a>. The Atlantis and the Endeavour are up for grabs. It is possible that the Enterprise, a shuttle prototype that never made it to space, will also be available. The Enterprise is currently at the Smithsonian.</p></blockquote>
<p>For the record, the space shuttle main engines are currently available at no charge.</p>
