Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 12-30-2025 09:38 AM On Friday (Dec. 26), CNBC spoke with NASA's new Administrator Jared Isaacman and as part of that interview asked about the status of removing space shuttle Discovery from the Smithsonian and relocating it to Houston. Isaacman's reply: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]Okay, this is one that certainly the space community has been following very closely. Well, first, let's go back to the Working Family Tax Credit Act, formerly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill, a massive investment that went into America's human spaceflight program, authorizations through the Artemis 5 mission, plus up funding for our human spaceflight operations at the International Space Station. And then there was also an allocation to return a historic spacecraft to Johnson Space Center in Houston. That's our human spaceflight center of excellence in Texas. My predecessor has already selected a vehicle, the former acting administrator. My job now is to make sure that we can do we can undertake such a transportation within the budget dollars that we have available. And of course, most importantly, ensuring the safety of the vehicle. And if we can't do that, you know what? We've got spacecraft that are going around the moon with Artemis 2, 3, 4 and 5. One way or another, we're going to make sure that Johnson Space Center gets their historic spacecraft right where it belongs.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>
