Space Shuttle Trader Magazine Folds as NASA Ends Shuttle Program

Unconfirmed sources report that Shuttle Trader Magazine, the premiere used Space Shuttle sales publication, will close after its next issue. Things looked bleak for Shuttle Trader after NASA announced it would give the Shuttles away, rather than sell them on the open market.

"We felt our publication was uniquely suited to help NASA out. Our readership was focused on the purchase of used space shuttles and related hardware, we were very excited about the prospect of picking up Shuttle program equipment," Says Ben Kickinger, the publisher of Shuttle Trade Magazine.
