Endeavour and Atlantis — sans SSMEs, OMS, RCS, and other stuff — can be seen inside the Vehicle Assembly Building in Google Street View. You can "walk" around and even under both shuttles. Both neat and sad. Imagery from Jan 2012.

I visited KSC in January 2012 while I was in town for the Daytona 24 Hour race. I toured the VAB and have several walk-around photos I took of Atlantis.

I remember being surprised when I reviewed my photos as the small reflector dots on the tiles were only visible in flash photos.
