# Buyable Spacecrafts The NASA Space Shuttles can now be Purchased Privately By Alex Scott | Published 2010-02-24 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nasa-space-shuttles References: [uncrate](http://www.uncrate.com/more/index.php?page=3) & [nasa.gov](http://www.nasa.gov/) I never thought I would see the day when purchasing the [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-glenn-1) Space Shuttles was a possibility. That being said, it is not like you or I can just go out and buy one--that is, unless you have $28 million sitting in the old savings account. With the [shuttle launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-center-houston) now officially over, the NASA Space Shuttles are up for grabs. The Discovery has already been sold which means you'll have to act fast as only the Atlantis and the Endeavour are left. Better start saving. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Market](https://www.trendhunter.com/market) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Privatization of Space Exploration:** Opportunities for private individuals and companies to invest in and own space-related assets like spacecrafts. - **Commercial Space Tourism:** The emergence of a market for space tourism experiences, where individuals can purchase trips to outer space on privately-owned spacecrafts. - **Collectible Space Memorabilia:** Increasing demand for space-related collectibles, offering unique opportunities for business in the memorabilia industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Space Technology:** Developing advanced spacecraft technologies for private space exploration companies and entrepreneurs. - **Luxury Travel and Hospitality:** Creating exclusive, high-end space tourism experiences and accommodations for wealthy individuals seeking unique adventures. - **Memorabilia and Collectibles:** Capitalizing on the growing interest in space-related memorabilia and collectibles by sourcing and reselling authentic items from the NASA Space Shuttles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Space Tourism Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-perspective-1.md) - [Space-Launching Science Missions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-glenn-1.md) - [Exclusive Luxurious Spaceflight Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-space-perspective.md) - [Space Tourism Travels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balloon-spacecraft.md) - [Launch Pad Transportation Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artemis-mission-2.md) - [Space-Inspired Toy Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-collections.md) - [Revolutionary Reusable Rockets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reusable-rockets.md) - [Space-Themed SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentayga-speed.md) - [Space Exploration Sneaker Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-reebok-x-nasa-shoes.md)
