Thanks for the details about the Muon G-2 move. Are there aspects of the G-2 that made it more modular / easier to disassemble than the shuttle?

The quote in the article cited by Ars (http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-041025a-space-shuttle-...) seems to come from the former "director of NASA's transition and retirement program".

> Partially disassembling Discovery is also not an option. Removing the wings would result in destroying many of the thermal blankets and tiles that protected the space shuttle as it returned to Earth, and you would still be left with segments too large to enter normal traffic, explained Jenkins.
