I really don't care where the shuttles end up, since I'm gonna hit up the smithsonian anyway, and I can see one then.

But shittyness aside, Houston is Mission freakin' Control. It does seem like a bit of a slap in the face.

It was parked off in some forgotten corner of the airport next to a few other decaying hulks and wouldn't you know it? My toddling ass ran up and kicked it.

True story

That was the day I discovered you can get away with anything if you act like you belong there

Ever walk into a police station, past the front desk into the offices and start going through filing cabinets?

You don't have to be a cop to do it.

I agree, I don't think ny should get it either. They are close to dc.

Houston should get one.

The only thing to come out of texas are steers and queers, and neither of those flew on the shuttle, huston does not deserve one

So we should park it on the lawn of the White House then?

Personally, I don't think it belongs in NYC. The people that go to NYC aren't going to say *Hey, NYC has a shuttle. I think I"ll go there for that.*

Maybe houston should house the world trade center memorial, makes about as much sense.

Just realized they are fighting over the Enterprise? Who gives a fuck about that one. I don't want to go see a glider, I want to see an actual "Space" shuttle. File this in the I don't give a shit category.

You know it would make sense for Houston to get the Enterprise. They would have the one no one actually gives a shit about.

Maybe Detroit, IL.

"Hey guys, why can't YOU make something like this?"

Well then it has to go to Riverside, Iowa (birthplace of one James Tiberius Kirk).
