One should definitely come here to be displayed at the Space Center and one should go to the Kennedy Space Center. Pretty much a foregone conclusion that the Smithsonian will get one no matter what...signed the petition

I think the one that is in space now is going to the Smithsonian.

Signs of our failing corrupt government... Rome did fall and it looks like history is repeating itself. Shame.

Is that a Chinese flag on the side of that rocket?

NASA is trying to develop a new rocket that will allow us back into the "space race".

THIS... and Rome wasn't the only superpower to fall and become enslaved by their successors.

Who's paying for this to be made?? I thought the government stopped all the funding ?

This would be awesome to see USA in the race.
