Count Senator Charles Schumer amongst those who want the space shuttle Atlantis to retire at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. Following NASA's announcement that they will send three space shuttles to institutions around the country, the Intrepid put their name in the hat. It's now being reported that "Schumer said Sunday he is supporting the Intrepid's bid for a space shuttle and he has appealed to Vice President Joe Biden to make it happen." If it all goes down, the shuttle would be housed in a glass enclosure at the end of Pier 86 around 2012.





A glass enclosure? I friggin wanna go IN it! Who cares then?
That will be great! And when they launch it off the end of the Intrepid we can watch the other end of the Intrepid go up in the air and come crashing down and cause this huge wave. Cool!
