Been around the US a bit and Philadelphia is easily one of the trashiest pos cities in the country.
The Liberty Bell is probly the most overrated historical landmark too
So is the Space Shuttle Enterprise, but New York had to have it over Houston. The rest is history.
That was pure politics as a f you to a State that didn't vote for Obama. F you Schumer.
We have a Saturn V. The space shuttle was the golf cart of spacecraft.
Indeed. But that doesn't change the fact that the decision to give that shuttle to New York (which as far as I know had very little if anything to do with its operation) was purely political.
Anyway,
Astros in 5.
Don't get me started on the bull***** An absolute travesty that Houston didn't get one of the Shuttles. The other locations make sense, but NY in no way deserved to have a shuttle
y'all, think big picture. do you want more active space programs? i definitely do. how do you get more active space programs? public support for spending on space programs. how do you get public support for spending on space programs? exposure and coverage of current and historical space programs is a great way to do that. houston already has a history with nasa, a saturn v museum piece, a space themed baseball team, and therefore a passion for space. idk how much houstonians would care about nasa if their entire presence was all in florida.
so, how do you get the public energized about space? expose large population centers that are frequently visited to nasa/spaceshuttles/etc. like LA, and NYC and DC,, all 3 are in top 10 most visited cities in the US. LA and NYC are the 2 largest cities also
so was it political? yes. but a never flown in space artifact is a small price to pay, in hopes of a well funded space program going forward.
anyway, 'stros in 7, because more baseball please,, offseason is too long
