Okay, I’ll admit I am a bit biased - I think Houston should get a space shuttle, but in the words of Apollo 13 – Houston, we have a problem.
As the shuttle program draws to a close, there is a big scramble going on as to who will get the remaining three shuttles for their museums.
The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum is getting one, and the one already on display there (one that never actually flew) will probably go to someone as a sort of consolation prize.
It’s looking a lot like Chicago will get one. Their museum has a former astronaut on the board, and a Chicago home-boy in the White House.
That just leaves one, and everyone with even the most tangential association with the space program is throwing their hat into the ring.
Houston’s claim ought to be obvious, but it is spelled out here - Bring the Shuttle Home. Check it out, and if you agree, follow the links and make your opinion known.
