Nice... thanks Greg.
Sorry Greg if I go slightly off topic here but from where I live (Houston suburbs), I think Houston got screwed outa one shuttle for display. Of course being in a Republican state surely didn't help any.

Houston certinally didnt protect the apollo stack that nearly collapsed from rot, after sitting exposed outside nearly forever

I don't know about that. I've seen it years ago and since never heard a word about this both locally or nationally. I never heard any reason given why Houston got the shaft so I assumed politics. But if what you say is true, it will be interesting to see if these other cities do better. Considering tho that the astronauts typically lived around here as well as the flight control center located here, I just thought it was fitting to have one here.

a condition of anyone getting a shuttle was properly protecting it from the weather...
so the remaining shuttles went to good homes

I don't know but I thought outa respect Houston should have at least one. A lot of local manhours went into building it and training for it around here. Oh well...

The orbiters are now museum pieces. Since there only a few you place then so that the most people can see them.

I was wondering too. Must be a door. I also thought there were more seats up there.
