It was still pretty impressive when I saw it at the Smithsonian.

Discovery should go to the Smithsonian as planned to replace Enterprise. Atlantis should go to the Cape as planned. Endeavour should go to Houston. They can send Enterprise to whatever stupid place they pull out of their ass. As long as they are sending Endeavour to New York they should send the Canadarm they are removing from it to Mexico.

I saw Enterprise as well. Now that the real ones are going to be available for viewing, I would much rather visit one of them.

As they used to say, when the Shuttle first started to undergo drop tests, it glides like a brick.

I hope they don't clean it up before putting it in the Smithsonian. I want to see it missing tiles, black streaks and all. Just like it just landed.

Strong work, Ed. I bet you're only 1 post with "busa board" results away from changing everyone's mind about where the glider should go.
