In this Dec. 28, 2009 photo, Chuck Ryan, founder of Support and Promotion for the Activities of NASA, stands in front of property where a trainer shuttle replica named "Resolution!" resides in Merritt Island, Fla. Ryan spent nearly 20 years building the replica shuttle. Construction began in the mid-90s in California and eventually the spaceship was hauled to Florida so Kennedy Space Center firefighters could use it as a training facility. However, the announcement of the end of the shuttle program meant there was no need for the shuttle. (AP Photo/Florida Today, Amanda Stratford) NO SALES
