If #SpaceShuttleDiscovery could be moved without destroying it (which seems unlikely), the exhibit would no longer be free for the public to see…instead, the public would have to 💰. Below is the admissions prices for its destination, #SpaceCenterHouston.
We are truly in the dumbest fucking timeline.
Senators Cruz and Cornyn want to chop up the space shuttle Discovery to steal--uh, move it from LA to the Smithsonian.
A reminder; it was moved fully intact through one of the busiest traffic zones in the US 13 years ago. #SpaceShuttleDiscovery
#TedCruz, #JohnCornyn added $85M, in #BigBeautifulBill, to steal #SpaceShuttleDiscovery, owned by #Smithsonian NOT the #FederalGovernment, to #Houston

Tedious Cruz just porked that $85M taxpayer bill right on in there at the very end. The Autocratic Fascist Party is definitely all about cutting that government spending!

Last time with the @Lego content now that my home is starting to look like Johnson Space Center in Houston.
The Lunar Rover kit is still out there calling my name. Maybe for my birthday …
