I still hope someone from Canada will purchase one. After all it was us who gave them and built the robotics for the shuttles, Canada is a major contributer to Nasa.
I dont understand why they just dont convert them over like they did with the three Saturn V rockets for general public viewing at the three NASA Centers. Even though they would need to be maintain and protected by the everyday outside environment from the weather.
Yeah but these are american space shuttles, im sure nomatter how close a country is to america, we wouldnt give old messed up space shuttles to a country. And im not even sure you would want an old beat up space shuttle either, unless you want to be as far away from safe as you can get.
Yeah, come to think of it, you're completely right. Still, it's kind of sad that we HAVE to rely on russia for a few years to come. I guess there would only be transport/supply missions to ISS anyway, which you don't NEED the space shuttle for, so NASA's retiring the space shuttle in order to pioneer the way to the next frontier, the moon..... anyway, they are really old and they can't run forever, so it would be dangerous just to hand it down to another country.
But yeah, i would love to hear about when Canada has a space program. What their space shuttle would be and everything. One thing i just thought of right as i was writing this comment was, if Canada came up with a space program, if the US could just do a joint program and combine and just make a NASA-Canada Space program and have both countries do funding, It would mark a milestone in the two countries' alliance. I wish Canada and the US could do more stuff like that.
I have always wanted to see this done, excellent video! Thanks for posting :) Nasa needs to sell Bluray discs of all this.

These shuttles will probably be stored somewhere in the desert or scrapped.
They will display some

Yeah, it wouldn't be a good idea at all, there was a reason they retired it and aren't flying it anymore.
