    1. Chopping up historical things is something these folks would do for funsies. So I doubt that will be a bar.

      This would be disastrous – disassembling Discovery would irreparably destroy large portions of the shuttle’s thermal protection tiles and other components. 

      I’m organizing folks at [KeepTheShuttle.org](https://KeepTheShuttle.org) to continue to fight back against the relocation, and if you’re interested in helping, please check us out!

    3. These scum would absolutely destroy the Discovery rather than let the Smithsonian keep it. This is too symbolic of what they’re doing to the entire country.

    4. I wonder if it could be cheaper and easier to just modify a new aircraft- like they did the Boeing 747 that took it to Virginia in the first place -to get it down to Houston.

      Why could we fly endeavour but not this one? Genuinely curious I have no clue about any of this.

      It was an incredible stupid and wasteful idea to begin with. This administration is a dumpster fire

      They don’t mind chopping up a constitution with no repercussions. Why would this hunk of metal bother them?

      One of Trumps butt-buddies will get the contract. Absurd and unnecessary project, but that’s these kinda folks….

    9. I am sure our ‚preserve history‘ crowd will come out in force and defend this piece of hardware with every bit of fervor they defended those confederate statues.

      Right?

      right?

      Ah. *There’s* that waste, fraud, and abuse I’ve been hearing so much about

    11. Probably it will cost the government millions more. What a fucking waste of time and money

      I thought the Smithsonian already said no and the federal government doesn’t have the right to move it?

      I’m guessing they already know where the Supreme Court is going to say on this issue.

    13. So it sounds like Discovery is going to get chopped up then. Anyone who supports this administration is dumber than a sack of shit.

    14. Additional-Sky-7436 on

      Donald Trump is going to destroy a space shuttle.

      And then he’ll probably do it again with another one.

    15. I’ll bet HeavyDSparks would be able to find a way of moving it. Guy’s a genius with heavy machinery.

    16. Once-and-Future on

      The people forcing this don’t care about it’s historical value or any intrinsic worth, it’s merely a game of grabbing a status symbol.

    17. Remember when this place was cheering for the orange turd? Where are you all know huh?
