the newly announced decision to place three of the space shuttles on the east coast and two in the north east sent me a clear message..
NASA and the Obama administration does not care about the rest of the country.. or they do and sent US a message by not including any Midwest location in the distribution of the shuttles..
I fully understand the Smithsonian decision. it is a fitting place to display a shuttle..
a west coast location is fair as well, even if i do not agree on the exact location..
Florida Kennedy center makes since as well...
having visited the intrepid museum several times.. well to say it nicely, it isn't an easy location.. not much space, and most of that is already taken.. while it should have been in the running for some sort of display..
I can't see how they can do the shuttle justice..
but what I find most insulting is the lack of a western / midwestern space shuttle..
