Space Shuttle Enterprise takes a step closer to new home

FILE- In this April 20, 2012, file photo provided by NASA, the space shuttle Enterprise rests atop of the NASA 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft for transport to New York at Washington Dulles International Airport, in Sterling, Va. Enterprise has been separated from the NASA 747 Shuttle Carrier at John F. Kennedy International Airport, just weeks after flying over New York City. Next month it will be taken by barge to the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid, the floating air-and-space museum that will be the shuttle�s permanent home. The shuttle is scheduled to open to the public in mid-July. (AP Photo/NASA, Bill Ingalls, File)
