NASA seeks buyers for three shuttles (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20081219/tsc-nasa-seeks-buyers-for-three-shuttles-e123fef.html)
For anyone with an interest in the starry skies and around 42 million dollars to spare, NASA may have an interesting proposition.
Will they be seen on ebay;) Like this Submarine for sale on eBay (http://www.webproworld.com/breakroom-general-any-topic/74389-submarine-sale-ebay.html)

Maybe Google and the Chinese might buy them for their project?

Apparently only US organizations are being considered.
If I were to buy one, I'd do one of two things.
Remodel the interior to resemble the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D (http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/library/ships/article/70381.html)
Or,
Convert it to a restaurant with a gift shop, located near an exit on a major highway. The thing would pay for itself in no time.

Rocket burger, $10.95.....
Proof positive that we'll turn ANYTHING into a burger joint! :p
not that there is anything wrong with that!
not a bad idea at all, I mean who wouldn't want to eat in a shuttle, I'd probably convert it to a motorhome if I'd get my hands on them, but, considering the tickets that I may get for pulling such a huge thing, I think I'll just drive it out and park on space...
