"Potential Arrival of Space Shuttle in St. Cloud Sparks Excitement"

A donor has expressed interest in donating a full-scale mockup of a space shuttle, known as Inspiration, to be showcased next to a new children’s museum in downtown St. Cloud, Minnesota. The shuttle, currently near the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, needs to be moved and would require disassembly, transportation, and reassembly using cranes. The donor, Felicity-John Pederson, is considering St. Cloud as a potential location for the shuttle, but logistics and finding partners willing to help with the move are daunting. Gov. Tim Walz mentioned the potential donation, sparking attention and hope for the project to become a reality.
