Texas Senators Want to Chop Up Space Shuttle Discovery

The article discusses the desire of Texas Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn to relocate the Space Shuttle Discovery from the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. to Texas. The shuttle has been on display at the museum for over a decade. The senators argue that Texas, as the home of the Johnson Space Center, is a more appropriate location for the historic spacecraft. They contend that moving the Discovery to Texas would allow more people to access and appreciate this important piece of space history. However, the article does not provide details on the feasibility or potential logistics of such a move. It also does not mention any opposition or concerns from the Smithsonian or other stakeholders regarding the relocation. Overall, the article presents the senators' proposal without delving into the potential challenges or broader implications of moving the Discovery from its current location.
