Probably not. They have no place to put it. The Enterprise already
takes up the bulk of the Space Hangar. The old storage building that
it was in has become inacessable due to the construction of the new
Dulles runway.

I think the building is accessable, just the side where the Connie was
is not.

They could dump the Enterprise to take on of the others, but I would
doubt it. None of the remaining ones are as historically significant
as the Enterprise. If the Columbia was still around, maybe.

Last I heard the decision has not been made. I'll have to tell the
curator about the discussion. She'll get a kick out of it :-).

I'm guessing either Cape Canaveral or Houston will get another.



My guess is that each of these will get one.
