“We’ve got spacecraft that are going around the moon with Artemis II, III, IV and V. One way or another, we’re going to make sure that Johnson Space Center gets their historic spacecraft.”

Statement by NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman to CNBC when asked about the planned move of the Discovery space shuttle from the Smithsonian Museum in Chantilly, VA to the Space Center Houston museum. He said this after highlighting the costs and risks related to this proposed move. Some in Congress have opposed the move for these very reasons, in addition to it being a political gimmick by the White House that makes little sense.
