How much does it cost to transport space shuttle Atlantis from Edwards Air Force Base in California back to Kennedy Space Center in Florida?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Slate.com states how it would be done.

"Due to the piggybacked plane's lousy aerodynamics and sizeable weight, the SCA's fuel efficiency is significantly less than that of a commercial airliner. As a result, an SCA can't fly more than 1000 nautical miles without refueling. The trip back will take up to 12 hours of flight time spread over two or three days".

Thanks bugsi, I thought it was much higher than $250k. The article from other answer is from '05; that could be why.
