@Joseph_Lee042 A totally fair comment. The issue I have is moving her now. The RFP pretty much confirms they are very concerned about transporting the orbiter intact and undamaged.

@NASASpaceflight The fact Houston didn’t get a Shuttle is unbelievable. Its an absolute disgrace. Florida gets one California gets one. Why not texas where all missions were controlled from.

"DRAFT RFP - NASA Flown Space Vehicle Multimodal Transportation Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract" Translation: "We still want to spend 10s of millions of dollars on moving Shuttle Discovery to Texas and try not to damage the only Vehicle of Record Shuttle orbiter in the process." Unbelievable. sam.gov/workspace/cont…

Bingo, right in the center.

Griffin’s integration momentum isn’t slowing down! 🚀 We’re heading into a back-to-back stretch of payload integrations. Each addition brings new capability online, moves the vehicle closer to full mission readiness, and fuels a growing sense of excitement across the team. Stay in orbit with us for the latest updates.

Andromeda flight engine awaiting shipment to our test site in Moses Lake, WA. 🔥 Big shout out to the local community and to our partners in the area like the @PORTOFMOSESLAKE and Grant County Sheriff's Office for being good neighbors and sharing the excitement as we work relentlessly toward launch.

To top of a eventful week, the Starbase Pad 2 tower has a new roof, after a brief CATO (Crane Assisted Take Off) of the roof segment with the help of the LR11000 to the top of the tower. @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/starbase

Heading back to the moon 🌕 @NASASpaceflight

Big Orange is back! Ahead of Artemis II's April launch window, SLS began its rollout to Pad 39B this morning just after midnight local time. Now hard down on the pad, final preparations are underway before the April 1st launch attempt - humanity's grand return to the moon, over 50 years in the making, is upon us! 📸 - @NASASpaceflight

The Tower has polled green to accept the roof for landing.
