 The space shuttle Enterprise was a test model, not intended to
fly, although I think they had originally planned to refit it for
space flight. This plan has probably been cancelled.  

The space shuttle and the star ship have met, in a way. In the
first Star Trek movie, the ship's lounge had a display with
pictures of five craft named "Enterprise": the British sailing
warship, the American aircraft carrier, the space shuttle, a
21st century sublight spacecraft, and the starship (from the TV
series, before the facelift.)
