Used to be some 747s that could do it. But they are decommissioned. So that leaves what?
Lunatics from TX have found a new way to waste tons of taxpayer money:
And this reader comment says it all:
"The Space Shuttle is the last great thing the United States has done and is a relic of a past time where the United States actually pursued science for science’s sake and the country as a whole actually accepted scientific discoveries by NASA as fact, I mean they are literally rocket scientists after all.
Shifting Discovery to Texas a state whose residents proudly reject science, proudly reject climate change while sticking their hands out for federal funding from climate change programs and the government commits fraud on the majority through its rampant jerrymandering and normalized racism simply demonstrates how nefarious the country that once led the world’s scientific endeavors has truly become.
The winner takes it all is surely now the true American Way and concepts of truth, justice or scientific discovery are irrelevant.
Please remember America on election day more than two thirds of your population made a decision to either vote for an Oligarchy or were not concerned by it and stayed home. MAGA did not light the flame of your destruction, more than two thirds of your population did. The country whose light once shone as a beacon to the world in science providing inspiration and hope is now simply a burning fire that serves a salutary lesson to the world of the danger of patriotism based in rhetoric rather than facts.
Congratulations America you have chosen to make science an expedient tool for Oligarchs to make money and for demagogues to foster ignorance."
