Actually, Johnson Space Center had more involvement in our space program than either New York or Los Angeles
Houston got screwed
How many people in the Space Program were actually from Houston?
How many people in the Space Program were actually from Houston?
From there? As in born there?
How does that matter?
Most of them are there now. There and at the Kennedy space center and white sands in NM.
How many people in the Space Program were actually from Houston?
The same number that were from Moscow.
WTF retarded point do you have?
Let me guess. They're putting the shuttle in NY because of a liberal conspiracy?
Maybe because NY has a bigger tourism industry than Houston does?
Maybe Houston is the home to our space program, and there's no good reason as to why they shouldn't be considered?
Sounds to me like this whole thing is going to be done to curry favor with politicians to get their support on legislation.
I personally agree completely, Houston should get the shuttle.
I just think it's pretty stupid to make a conspiracy out of it. There's a pretty simple explanation as to why it's going to NY: Tourism. The Intripid is already one of the biggest federally-owned tourist attractions in NY, this move will raise awareness and funding for NASA, which is clearly what they're trying to do.
The other places won shuttles. NY won a glider.

I really don't care who gets it. Texas probaly should but on the other hand it appears that the state that produced the most Astronauts is..........
New York (unless I miscounted)

You do realize NY is getting Enterprise, which was a test model with no engines, was never in space, and has its greatest achivement being that it was jettisoned off a 747 and landed sucessfully?

I saw the Enterprise in the Smithsonian.....not impressive
Looks like a shuttle....but you get the feeling you are looking at a model

Not to mention the allure of looking at something that was actually in space.
A moon rock looks like a rock.....but the fact that it is from the moon, people come from all corners of the globe to stare at it for hours.

I've been to both the Smithsonian Air and Space Museums, Cape Canaveral , the Intrepid Air and Space Museum and Johnson Space Center ...none does a better job of describing the space program than the Johnson Space Center
The Intrepid is the worst. Run down ship with jet aircraft and a few space capsules....no context just stuff
Haven't seen the Los Angeles Air Museum

Yes we did.
JSC is practically in my backyard, and the local impact was like a kick to the nuts.
I know several folks tied directly to the shuttle program who felt it was pay back for being in a "red state". Even the ones who voted for him are pissed. They feel that this should have been beyond partisan BS.
Oh well, guess we will have to visit another state to see our local heritage.

Did you see the big rocket when it was outside, or i its new strusture?
It was awesome when it was outside where the scale was staggeringly HUGE!
