[Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: free (space shuttle) stuff !

[Ever Falling]

says where? as seen on the new scientist website:

"If an entire shuttle is beyond your budget, consider a main
engine<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_main_engine>instead.
NASA had hoped to charge up to $800,000 for these but lack of
interest has forced it to slash the price. They are now available for free:
a bargain in anybody's language. Just bear in mind that the buyer must pay
for postage and packaging."

this makes me beleive that no purchase is necessery for the free engines
except for hauling it away. i think the engines are either extras, or are
going to be taken out of the shuttle before putting them up for sale. i
don't think you have to buy one to get the other or else they would have
stated that
