The Shuttle Enterprise will pass by Jersey City later this morning

Around 10:50 the Shuttle Enterprise will be taken by boat past the Statue of Liberty and around 11:40 am past the new One World Trade on its way to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in Manhattan.

Make a morning of it, bring the kids...

The Space Shuttle will be flying into NYC on April 23

...and by flying we mean riding on the back of a NASA shuttle carrier and landing at JFK. As Gothamist points out this particular space shuttle, Enterprise, never flew in actual outer space proper but was visited by the Star Trek crew. That right there is worth $3 of the entry cost when the shuttle goes on display in summer briefly before being moved somewhere else. Yep, that's pretty much what we have. It'll be moving somewhere else but it WILL be going by the Statue of Liberty on its way to the new home. The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum has "ownership" of the shuttle but don't yet have a permanent home set.

Johnny is a pretty fair Photshopper himself and seeing the graphic over at the Gothamist for this story screams a Sullenberger flys shuttle headline...
