This photo, taken at Cape Canaveral yesterday, is a sight that never again will be seen:

Endeavor and Discover were maneuvered into place at Kennedy Space Center. They will eventually be transported to California Science Center in Los Angeles and the Smithsonian respectively.

Johnson Space Center is where it is because the guy that it is named after was from Texas, along with the Speaker of the House at the time, Sam Rayburn. Most of the rest of the Texas congressional delegation were in the majority party at the time.

The current President got how many electoral votes from Texas? :headscratch

Political payback can be painful.
