Tuesday 12 April 2011 is the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarins 108 minute flight into the history books, becoming the first human in space. It is also the 30th anniversary of the flight of the first Space Shuttle into space. As part of the anniversary celebration, NASA announced where the four remaining shuttles in the fleet will finally land for public exhibit.
And the winners are...
Atlantis will go to Kennedy Space Center
Discovery will go to Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum
Endeavour will go to CA Science Center
Enterprise will go to the Intrepid Museum in NYC
While Enterprise never went to space, it is still great to have a shuttle here in NYC. Enterprise was used to test the flight characteristics in the atmosphere and landing of the shuttles.
