I agree that Discovery, being the first shuttle in space, should be at the Smithsonian. But New York City is getting one, and they don't even have a place to put it!
Sorry for the rant... true blue Seattleite here, feeling snubbed... guess I need to plan a trip to DC now, huh???

I agree with you. New York should've never gotten one. They've done nothing to deserve it either. Especially since they don't even have a facility to put it in! These shuttles need special care. They can't just be thrown in a tent.
You won't have to go to DC unless you specifically want to see Discovery. Endeavour is being sent to Los Angeles later this year.
