Not to rehash what is undoubtedly old news, but by naming the approach and
landing test vehicle "Enterprise," NASA really put one over on all those
poor Trekkies.

I've heard that it would cost more to make Enterprise spaceworthy than to
build a new orbiter vehicle from scratch.  She was never intended to fly
beyond the atmosphere.
