Unfortunately, they will not receive the nozzle because NASA still uses them.</p><p>Space Museum President Earl Mullins says the combustion chamber never flew on a Shuttle mission.</p> Thu, 30 Aug 2012 13:17:36 +0000 Jacob McCleland 20290 at http://kbia.org http://kbia.org/post/remembering-sally-ride <p>Former astronaut Sally Ride passed away on Monday after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
