Smilies Legend
[i]The Titusville City Council on Tuesday joined the appeal to keep one of the space shuttle orbiters at Kennedy Space Center after the fleet is retired. "This state has cried and cheered for the shuttle for more than 20 years," said state Rep. Ritch Workman, who sponsored a bill in the Legislature to lobby for an orbiter. "We can not let that history and legacy go away because of a more enthused bidder." After the fleet retires, expected to be sometime in 2011, Discovery will go to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., which has first right of refusal on all space artifacts. About 20 other organizations are vying for Atlantis and Endeavour, but NASA would not release the list of candidates.[/i]
