“NASA said Aug. 5 that the agency’s acting administrator at the time, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, had selected the vehicle but declined to identify it.“
Heh
Back in my day, Spacenews was free.
How about they just leave everything where it is…
Smart! Unless there is an intellectual, historical, or preservation-related justification, Discovery should remain at Udvar-Hazy.
Starliner would look awfully good in the Texas sun
Crew dragon could also be an option.
Like…not moving it at all because that’s a stupid idea?
Soon to be known as the Trump Discovery Shuttle.
Basically only two more years until the adults take back over. 2028 right around the corner. Tick tock, tick tock.
/me ponders strapping that puppy to the side of a superheavy.
“A provision of H.R. 1, the budget reconciliation bill signed into law in July, included $85 million for a “space vehicle transfer” of a crewed spacecraft to a NASA center involved in the agency’s commercial crew program. The bill directed NASA to identify the vehicle to be transferred within 30 days of enactment.”
Hey Doge, I found some actually government waste!
It was not long ago that people here were dooming and glooming about Isaacman wanting to move the Shuttle ([https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/1pccm88/trump_pick_for_nasa_chief_jared_isaacman_pledges](https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/1pccm88/trump_pick_for_nasa_chief_jared_isaacman_pledges)) and now unsurprisingly the reality is that he has a completely reasonable stance on this:
>NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman suggested he would be open to transferring a spacecraft other than the space shuttle Discovery to Houston.
>In a Dec. 23 interview on CNBC, Isaacman said moving the shuttle orbiter from its current home at the National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia would depend on whether it could be done safely and within budget.
I saw Discovery at the Udvar Hazy center, and I think it does deserve a better spot for the public to view it, but not at the risk of chopping it up. I would love for them to figure out a way to get it on the main Smithsonian Campus.
85 million dollars to do something completely unnecessary. This administration is just a band of fucking thieves.
Honest suggestion here, but why not give Houston the Columbia?
And for those that think Im being macabre, I mean the Apollo 11 Capsule, not the wreckage of the shuttle.
