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.
