Obama purposely dissed Houston - where it rightfully belongs. He is truly a son of a bitch, who should be shunned by all Americans after he is defeated.

I don’t think Endeavour should go to the California Science Center in Los Angeles. What has Los Angeles done to deserve a Space Shuttle?

FWIW, he did let Houston have a mockup shuttle, the “Explorer”.

> It sure has a big rear end!

The Enterprise is a ship, well a space ship anywyas, so it should probably be referred to as a she, not an it.

And she probably asking, “Does my a$$ look fat?”

Texas should have gotten it. We accepted a replica instead. Should have told them what they could do with their replica.

If you look closely at the right wingtip it is damaged from hitting a warf.Just how do you screw that up?

The “Enterprise” is a mock-up too.

As another FReeper posted on a thread the other day: "Texas should send replica taxes to DC".

Johnson Space Center got its Mock-Up Shuttle last Friday.

And we had a big-ass party, celebrating the people in this area that help make space flight possible.
