I'm certain that they are. I understand that.

More importantly, KSC has had consistently high viewing/tourist/visitation numbers, probably second only to the Smithsonian. You could say that KSC has been a slam dunk. But Houston? No.
Naturally, KSC should receive one. I'm not disputing that at all. But Houston is as much tied to the program as KSC. Even if the facility here is sub-par. My point is, to imply or say that Houston wasn't awarded one, because of "ego" is a bit of a cop-out reason and spiteful to say the least.

But NY and CA? that's where my beef really is as far as the space shuttle placement goes. Seriously....
Same here. And who knows, perhaps with the intent on one coming here, changes would've been made.

NY is having problems and backtracking on the original winning bid.

It needs to be reconsidered.
