Houston, wir haben vielleicht ein Problem … für die Pläne Ihrer Senatoren, ein NASA-Spaceshuttle nach Texas zu bringen.

Good, give them the moonship. It won’t require being destroyed to move it so that sounds perfect.
beats destroying a space shuttle by cutting it up… and I say this as a shuttle non-fan.
If I recall correctly this was his stance from before he got un-nominated too. I don’t think he ever put anything into it past what he had to to get himself confirmed in the Senate. He has a logical head on his shoulders and knows its a terrible idea.
As a Houstonian, I can say this was not our idea or doing. The orbiter is where it needs to be, and should not be moved. This is merely Ted Cruz and others pandering to the great Cheeto. We had our chance, our the same representatives didn’t fight hard enough for one and didn’t want to work with Obama.
I do think it would be cool to have, at least, the Apollo 13 spacecraft, since Mission Control was critical in safely getting the astronauts back to earth safely.
What we do have is one of the 747s that transported the orbiters with the „balsa wood“ orbiter (as I call it) on top, the Apollo 17 command module, Saturn V rocket, and a spent SpaceX booster, among other old misc decaying rockets. Oh, a lunar lander which is pretty cool.
Bottom line, we do not need the orbiter. Leave it be, please.
Hell, give them two, but get your grubby hands off Discovery.
awesome if true. but isn’t orion supposed to be reusable? so it’d be delayed for many years, right?
