Bolden will announce that the shuttles will be sent the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space in New York, the California Science Center in Los Angeles, the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
“NASA ignored the intent of Congress and the interests of taxpayers. NASA was directed to consider regional diversity when determining shuttle locations. Unfortunately, it looks like regional diversity amounts to which coast you are on, or which exit you use on I-95. Even more insulting to taxpayers is that having paid to build the shuttles, they will now be charged to see them at some sites,” said Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, in a statement after the announcement.

TAXPAYERS...DO NOT PAY TO SEE THE SHUTTLES. YOU PAID TO BUILD THEM.
New York and L.A? WTF do they have to do with any of it? I'd be less irritated if they'd sent one to Billy Bob's Museem of Flite in North Carolina.
