Dayton,

Wright Patterson Air Force Museum


They are raising a big stink about them not getting a shuttle here.

Both of these.

Also, it pisses me off that our supposed "lawmakers" are spending time on crap like this (Texas Senator working to present and pass a Bill to get the shuttle in Houston). Why the fuck does a Bill have to be presented for stupid shit like this? Do they not have enough fucking work to do?

Oh wait, they can't address the "real" problems - that may piss off the voters. Can't have that. They're so busy KEEPING their jobs that they can't DO their fucking jobs.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

They based the decision on population centers and expected number of visitors each year. The smithsonian and the cape got one each just because, and LA and NY are obvious choices because the large populations centers near them. Yes its gonna piss off texas, but people don't vacation in Houston if they dont have to.
