Senators Push to Block Shuttle Relocation Funding

Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine sought to block federal funding for moving Space Shuttle Discovery from Virginia to Texas.
Smithsonian estimates transport and planning costs exceed $385 million, surpassing the $85 million allocated.
Senators argued the move would damage the shuttle, rendering it unusable as a museum artifact.
