[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) how do they even move it there? The NASA 747 transporter aircraft is already in the Davis Monthan  boneyard.

2) it makes more sense for a shuttle to be in Houston (rather than DC or NYC) because at least Houston, California and Florida were all crucial to the shuttle program. DC? NYC? Nope. [/quote]
It’s not in DC or NYC. And Space Center Houston already has a full scale replica shuttle. Why do we need to spend $300-$400 million on this?

The Udvar-Hazy Air & Space Annex at Dulles is essentially DC. Hair-splitting only makes you look stupid.

The space shuttle Enterprise is in NYC aboard the Intrepid aircraft carrier museum on the Hudson River.

So yes, there are shuttles on display in DC and NYC.

And neither city has any really meaningful connection to the shuttle program. I’m sorry your obstinance and hatred of anything Trump keeps you from seeing that. I hate Trump more than you do, I guarantee, but I don’t let it cloud my judgment and force me into ridiculous indefensible positions like you are allowing.

The shuttles belong in places relevant to the shuttle program.

California 
Texas
Florida 
Alabama
