Even through I live in Massachusetts, I think it should be call either Columbia or Challenger in honor of these Shuttles who were tragically destroyed in accidents on January 28, 1986 and February 1, 2003 respectfully.

I think it should be called "Independence" complimenting the Texas Spirit!

I think Texas should be getting the Enterprise and New York can find a name for the mockup.

I just submitted TRIBUTE, in respect for all of the dedicated workers in the program over the years, many of whom were from Texas. Also, of course, in respect for the fallen astronauts in the program, some of whom were lost in the skies over Texas.
