I don't know what value can it have to be studied since it never left low earth orbit (albeit it was there since 1972), but I know it would be a cool addition to any museum that may host it.
- fsckboy 1y agospace shuttle, the air force still has one, doesn't it? also, elon could whip something up.
- pacificmint 1y agoThe Air Force never had a space shuttle, though NASA flew missions for the Air Force and the NRO. But at this point none of the remaining shuttles are in an operational state. Maybe you are thinking of the X-37 which is operated by the space force?
