Queens Assemblyman Michael DenDekker nudges NASA to land shuttle at Intrepid
|
NASA still hasn't decided where three retiring space shuttles will end up, but New York pols who want one for the Intrepid aren't taking a wait-and-see approach.
In the latest instance of shuttle diplomacy, Queens Assemblyman Michael DenDekker is sending to Cape Canaveral a copy of a unanimous Assembly resolution supporting the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum's bid for one.
NASA originally promised to make a decision by last month; the space agency now plans to announce where the shuttles are headed by the end of the year.
"We're very patient," DenDekker said. "But we are going to be diligently pushing to get one for the city of New York."
More than 20 other institutions around the country are vying for Discovery, Endeavor and Atlantis. The Smithsonian is said to be a front-runner for Discovery.
