Placing shuttle in museum is tragic for USA !

This is criminal!

For more than 50 years, Americans have been launching into space, first aboard tiny capsules and later on the winged, reusable space shuttles and space station. Much of that long space legacy is on display at museums across the United States. 

See where you can find some of the most iconic U.S. spacecraft ever flown: http://oak.ctx.ly/r/7gup

  Daniel Webb Bush wanted to start the Orion project which would have send us back to the moon, but Obama canceled it. As for the shuttles, most were in need of retirement and replacement regardless, thought their was no good reason to end the program completely, other than the fact Obama hates anything related to American exceptionalism. As for the the rest, what would you have us do with the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo capsules?

  Daniel Webb I agree they shouldn't have been retired, thought I thought some of them had more mileage on them than that. As for Apollo, do you really want to send our astronauts back to the moon in 1960s technology?
