No, NASA isn’t for sale, but some of its holdings are. If you are thinking about starting your own space program, there’s no real advantage in starting from the ground up when you can just buy, rent or lease exactly what you need from NASA, like a launchpad, shuttle assembly hanger or a 3 mile long runway. NASA’s going out of the Shuttle business sale……we’re dealin’.
A lot of the stuff needs to be transferred by the end of 2013, when federal maintenance money will run out. When it does, machinery will start to rust, and buildings will deteriorate in the harsh coastal-marsh environment of Cape Canaveral.
