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.
