Houston ... the space shuttle’s homecoming
After 30 monumental years of exploration and discovery, NASA's Space Shuttle Program is scheduled to end in 2011. All three U.S. space shuttles will retire to individual permanent homes, possibly at museums, science centers or other entities throughout the nation. While many organizations are worthy of showcasing such an historical artifact, the right home for one of these three space shuttles must be NASA’s lead center for human spaceflight... Houston’s Johnson Space Center.
