NASA to Announce Which Museums Get the Space Shuttle This Afternoon

Later this afternoon, there are going to be a mix of very elated and very let down museum employees across the country. After months of campaigning, presenting, and making sure the public knows that they’ve tried their darndest, NASA is finally set to announce who they will be donating their space shuttles to. Among the 21 organizations desperately wanting one, there are a total of just four spacecraft up for grabs, three that have flown missions (the Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavour) and one test ship that never wound up making it outside of the atmosphere, the Enterprise.
