Houston protests over Enterprise coming to Intrepid

NEW YORK

Earlier this week, /*NASA*/ decided to display the shuttle in /*New York City*/.

But some in /*Houston*/ say not so fast and that they deserve it more.

One Utah and 16 Texas Congressman are threatening to introduce legislation to block the /*Enterprise*/ from coming to NYC, saying Houston's /*Johnson Space Center*/ is more deserving, sighting logic and history.

Right now NASA plans to send /*Discovery*/ to the /*Smithsonian*/, /*Atlantis*/ to /*Kennedy Space Center*/, /*Endeavour*/ to /*California Science Center*/, and Enterprise to the Intrepid.

For now, the Texas congressmen are pushing NASA to reconsider.

There is no word on if or when any legislation would be introduced.
