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.)
