Those of us Houstonians who lived here through the glory days of the American space program are still somewhat rankled that Houston – home of Mission Control, and the place where all the Astronauts lived and trained – didn’t rate a real shuttle when they were decommissioned.
Now we learn that the booby prize – the fake – the mock-up - that was sent to JSC doesn’t have a name. It was known as “Explorer” for the 18 years it was on display at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, but the name was removed before it was shipped to Texas.
If you care, and if you have an idea as to what you would like to call it, you can submit your suggestion Here.
