The Space Shuttle Enterprise is open for business in New York City. The Intrepid Air and Space Museum officially unveils the shuttle exhibit to the public on July 19, but Mashable got a sneak preview. First impressions? The Shuttle is huge.

Even though the original small object creation device would still see the jaws of most people dropping in wonder, the company has now unveiled a new model at CES 2012 called the Replicator that is not only capable of fabricating much bigger objects than its predecessor, but can also do so in two colors at the same time.
Neat!
