I'd junk it now
Seriously folks... For sale: 1974 Space Shuttle One owner. Driven up to space only a few times. Possible heat-shielding tiles loose. Requires US $700million to make spaceworthy again.
In its time it was the best thing available on the market.
Nothing but Pure Glass
Meanwhile, the folks at NASA are doing this wonderful experiment to make pure glass. Instead of null-grav, they are using electrostatic charges to accomplish this task.
That's about it on a quiet day on the Space Frontier. Not even an interesting baseball article. :)
