The two U.S. senators from Texas are hoping to bring one of NASA's famed space shuttles to what they call its rightful home – Houston. Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, both Republicans, introduced a bill on Thursday that would move Space Shuttle Discovery from the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Virginia to a nonprofit near the Johnson Space Center in Houston – likely Space Center Houston,

The shuttle is currently located at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia. The proposed legislation would authorize the transfer of the shuttle to a “non-profit’ near the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
