Trivia...
Actually, there was another Shuttle built, called the Pathfinder, that was
used just for developing the arm and packing situations...it is parked at
the Space Museum in Huntsville, AL

Which one is in mothballs?

Any idea what they'd have to do to Enterprise to get it flying? Obviously it doesn't have any engines. I know the flight controls work, as that was the whole point of doing the glide tests.

I couldn't remember Discovery, and had to go look it up yesterday. Funny it came up on the list :-).

If they do build a new one to replace Columbia, I vote that the name does not start with the letter C.
