NASA Considers Museums Another Mission Phase
NASA's Space Shuttles won't fly again, but the agency doesn't
view that as the end of their mission. In the case of the shuttle
Atlantis, NASA says its next mission -- to inform and inspire
generations of visitors to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
in Florida -- is one step closer to reality. A groundbreaking
ceremony Wednesday officially launched construction of a new
exhibit at the complex's Space Shuttle Plaza, where Atlantis will
be the main attraction.
