It's funny that when Texas was asked if they wanted a shuttle over a decade ago, John Cornyn didn't give two shits about it. They ended up cutting down trees and rutting fields just to bring in the 747 carrier and the Explorer replica instead. The Endeavor didn't even go to JPL! What a fiasco that was. This is definitely a political stunt to distract from something else. Probably to dismantle the Smithsonian for all their "DEI" exhibits or whatever excuse they want to use to wipe out American history and rewrite it in their version. They already took the Enola Gay down for having the word "Gay" in it!!
