It was announced yesterday (April 12, 2011), that the Space Shuttle Enterprise will be moved to NYC and put on display in a hanger adjacent to the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum once the Shuttle fleet is retired.
I admit to being a bit disappointed, as the Enterprise never actually performed any space flight, only test flights in the atmosphere. It was the first Shuttle built (and designated OV-101) but it lacked heat shielding and engines. While the original intent was to refit the Shuttle for space flight, apparently the engineers revisited their calcs post-Challenger disaster and adjusted parts of the overall Shuttle design that made this refitting impossible.
