[i]Officials with the Tulsa Air and Space Museum & Planetarium have applied to NASA to become the home for one of the three soon-to-be-retired space shuttles. NASA is looking for permanent homes for the three shuttles and the executive director of the Tulsa museum says the facility meets NASA's requirements. Jim Birdenstine says Tulsa also has a history in the nation's space exploration programs. He says the Delta Program that launched America's first satellites into orbit was created in Tulsa and Saturn rockets were built in the city. The bay doors on the Space Shuttle Orbiter were built in Tulsa and mechanics and engineers in the city modified the Boeing 747 to carry space shuttles across the country.[/i]
