Space has always had a strong presence in the Disney Parks. With the Kennedy Space Center pretty much down the road from Walt Disney World, Disney-NASA branded possibilities are endless. (Memories of the former Disney-MGM brand).

Among aspects in Future World and Tomorrowland, John Glenn’s flight gear, Gus Grissom’s Lunar rock sample and other NASA items are on display in the National Treasures exhibit inside The American Adventure.

So, Epcot is the best fit. Placing the Shuttle in back of the fountain on Future World Side, nose facing World Showcase, would be a great spot. Not only will the Shuttle be in direct eye line as soon as you walk out of Mission: SPACE, the nose facing the countries can symbolize how all nations have come together for the International Space Station. It also ties in with Walt’s vision for his “Prototype Community of Tomorrow”.
