30 years ago today the Space Shuttle Columbia blasted off on the first shuttle mission. Two missions ultimately ended up in disaster, but thefive shuttles spent a collective 1289 days in space over 132 missions. The program is set for retirement afterEndeavor'sfinal voyage later this month, and so the three remaining shuttles along with the Enterprise prototype are going to need cozy homes.Of course every museum around the US wants one, but there are only four shuttles to go around with one already designated for the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. The new homes are to cover the $28.8 million cost of prepping and transporting the massive shuttles, but those cost should be easily recovered with ticket sales.NASA's been taking suitors for the last few months and used the historicanniversary to announce the winning locations.
