Default Planetarium to receive prisoner-built replica of doomed shuttle

Now Whitten, who's serving a 25-year sentence for a domestic incident,
is planning an even bigger and better shuttle.

This third project, already under way, will feature the shuttle along
with its orange fuel tank and two solid-fuel rocket boosters. It will
stand nearly nine feet tall and weigh 500 pounds.


I wonder if he's thought about putting real rocket motors on it,
climbing inside and attempting an escape?
...


And if he takes a couple of guys along for the ride, he might even have
a good shot at the X-Prize!
