Maybe it is gutted, I don't know, I havn't been up there yet, but do you know what would really cool and inspire people?<br /><br />A Shuttle simulator. Sort of like "Mission Space" at EPCOT, but on the flight deck of one of the glass cockpit Orbiters. A quick 5 minute ride at 1 to 3 g's from lift-off, past SRB sep to MECO and an attitude change to bring to full, beautiful Earth into view, and than a firey re-entry, complete with plasma tube visuals to land at KSC. While you're "in space" it might be cool to see a fully completed space station in the distance, with a lot of cool activity, like a big construction project going on. Actually I don't know if that would inspre me or piss me off for the obvious reason, that being because we are not doing a lot of activity or construction, *AND WE SHOULD BE!!!!* <br /><br />That's a lot better than ruining a priceless piece of hardware that's still got some life left in her by putting her in a museam. <br /><br />*EDIT*<br />Mission Space is a ride at EPCOT that is a "Space Simulator". It's basiclly a centrafuge with a ring of enclosed cockpits that are able to pitch up and down according to the "flight profile" giving the illusion that you're sitting on your back, the engines fire, and you are climbing out accelerating at an increadible rate. It's without a doubt the coolest ride I've ever been on, but many people get sick on it. It's awesome! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
