Thread: Where will the space shuttles end up? Not the where they should...

And someone had the audacity to say communism destroys countries

^^^^^ This is why it will be moved into the private sector not affiliated with NASA or the United States Air Force.

its kinda like how canada was building a fighter jet then things got dumb

Dayton OH, birthplace of aviation, location of the "National" U.S.F.A. Museum, and the worlds most Important air force base. Did not get picked for one of the shuttles.
I don't know why But I am raging about this its so dum..... Im glad nasa is getting cuts left and right they don't deserve anything from the national government if thats how they are gonna repay them

I think Kennedy or the Space Center Houston tourist stop next door to Johnson Space Center should get one to share and that leaves one left since the Smithsonian is already getting one well a new one, I think the last one then should go to the Museum of Flight in Seattle and then that would equally spread out the shuttles around the country for more people to see them.

But where do you guys think they should go if you care?

ohio is not the birthplace of aviation, NC is, ohio is just the birthplace of the people who gave birth to it, so ohio is the grandparents of aviation

please don't start that argument.... and the wright flyer was built in dayton they just flew it in nc during the earlier stages... just saying

but it was never flown in ohio..just sayin

it was too flown in ohio Just after it flew sevral times in NC, you guys can have first in flight on your plates and we will keep birthplace of aviation since we have been more involved in flight then any other place in the world just to name a few f-17, b-2 spirit,...etc all designed in Dayton... which is absolutly the only thing going for this place now that theres no Gm plants and the fact that daytons a hole of a city lol

Does it not make sense to put them where the most people will be able to see them?

The ROM is in Toronto because its a high traffic city.

they're not going to put it in winepeg because of some historical significance.

you have to remember they are charging 28 million a pop so they're going to want to be able to make that money back by charging people to see them.

Run the numbers.

I'm sure they have.
