Retirement Homes Announced for Space Shuttle Fleet
NASA also announced that hundreds of shuttle artifacts have been allocated to museums and education institutions. (www.nasa.gov) Mehr...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I was happy that the Intrepid got Enterprise, but I agree that Wright-Patt should've gotten one. I haven't been to the museum there yet, but I plan to.
But, just to be argumentative with Mr. Yockey, why not put one in Pensacola, at the Naval Aviation Museum? Out of the "Mercury 7," three were Navy and one was a Marine. That's a majority that were not Air Force.
Unfortunately, there aren't enough shuttles left for every place that deserves one to get one.

The California Science Center hasn't even submitted a design for the structure that will house Endeavour. At least publicly anyway. If the deal falls through, hopefully it can go somewhere that's more worthy of having it like JSC or the USAF Museum.
Houston deserves/earned a shuttle. This is a political decision against a Republican state.
Like many of you here, I am disappointed, that Houston did not get one of the orbiters, but I am thankful for what we do have. We have a Saturn V rocket, plenty of neat space artifacts, and we have a great team at JSC as well as SCH. Now for some humor...
Well we know the one going to L.A. will be stolen, The one in N.Y. will be sold to a rich person on HGTV, the one in Florida will be pushed to Orlando by a hurricane and become a pizza place at Disney World and finally the one in D.C. will most likely just get lost.

"With the Lord coming, why are we worried about space anyway,....." Which Lord? The Queen of England? Lord Blackwood? Mitt's Lord? You're crazy.
My position is, admittedly, at least partially selfish. I live in Dayton and I want a bird near my home so I can go visit her. That aside, I stand by my point that the Air Force played a vital role in the early days of NASA and that the Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB is just the right place to display such an artifact. It would be among much in the way of good company!
