„NASA“ selects to move the shuttle, in what is clearly not a dying grasp of a politician trying to stay elected.
“The acting Administrator has made an identification. We have no further public statement at this time,” she said in a statement to SpaceNews. She confirmed that NASA was not naming the vehicle it selected or its destination.
300 million is peanuts. It’ll tear up the roads, require a specially created vehicle, and building an entire hanger to house the thing. This will take years and at least a billion dollars. All to rob our nation’s capital.
If anyone at NASA has balls, they will red tape this to Kingdom Come. Make it the most expensive move ever. It’s it easy to go over budget at NASA why would this be an exception.

That $$$ would have best used to for… Texas flooding like providing monetary assistance to flood victims, building flood prevention system, building actual flood engineering, and more.. but no.. that $300 million is going to just.. move the entire shuttle to Houston.. is that the REAL priority right now?
Sciact – NASA’s science education mission was funded for 5 years…..for $50M total.
SciAct was deleted in the current budget.
You could have funded SCIACT for 25+ years for the cost of moving this shuttle.
This administration is just freakin hypocritical and ridiculous in their attempts to ’save‘ money and then waste money.
Why? There’s already a shuttle displayed at Houston.
Everyone here saying „too big for roads“ forgetting that both Houston and DC are reachable by barge.
Fuck trump. fuck the nazis (gop), fuck the spineless cowards who did not tell them to get stuffed.
It’s going to stop in Houston and reroute straight to a trump golf course.
You could probably build a full scale mockup for much less. But why is this even necessary?
Honestly, $300 million sounds like the „before we discover all the logistical nightmares“ estimate, this thing will probably cost closer to a billion by the time they’re done. Classic NASA budget magic, where the initial number is just a polite suggestion. Also, calling it now: the real winner here is whichever contractor lands the „custom shuttle transport vehicle“ deal. And of course the press release is vague, why admit the chaos upfront when you can drip-feed the absurdity later?
The Shuttle was transferred to the Smithsonian
