Endeavour will remain how it is now until 2017. Then it'll be put in launch configuration with one payload bay door open.

It's not that NASA is more focused on unmanned rockets, it's that they weren't prepared to have Constellation canceled.

I still think the space program should be a high priority in school, especially grade school. It should be a major subject taught over a few years time.

What Space Shuttle do you plan on visiting?

If SLS goes as currently planned, it will be around until at least 2032.
