I remember watching it on TV clear as day. Star Trek fans lobbied NASA to name the first shuttle Enterprise.

I keep thinking about the expense and all the trees they cut down in LA to make a path for it. Great use of our money.

That is a travesty.

Its a ****ing joke that California gets one at all.

That was just payback for LBJ.

Any idea what the reasoning was behind Houston not getting one?

Why? The shuttles were basically built in California.

One of my neighbors a few houses up caught it on video. I'll see if I can get it from him and link it.

Yeah, but you mentioned first voyage. Enterprise only did glide and a few other tests. She never went into orbit or "lifted-off."

I'm just bitter that the Air Force Museum didn't get one.
