A provision in the budget bill moves the shuttle Discovery to Houston. National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution <https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#> suggests a cost of $300 million, Texas Senators say more like $8M. But here's the kicker:
“I would much rather see that money invested in NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration <https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#>’s science program,” Reisman said, especially given how sharply the White House wants to cut the agency’s research funding. “If you’re going to cut that and then cough up hundreds of millions of dollars into this for what is essentially a political mission — two senators who are concerned only about what’s best for their state and not what’s best for the country — I find that to be just a travesty.” As someone who watches and rewatches #space documentaries and marvels at the lessons learned, I agree. https://wapo.st/3I9UCcw Cheers -- Kathryn -- Kathryn Creedy PHONE # 321 405 4395 US-Eastern Time Zone *Twitter*: @kcreedy *Visit me on LinkedIn*
