Intrepid Museum Requests $40 Million in Public Funds to Help House Its Space Shuttle

At last we left the controversy surrounding NASA‘s decision to give one of its few Space Shuttles to New York’s Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum, the institution itself was under fire for possibly not being as prepared to receive the craft as they’d original told the space agency, and other states who hadn’t received one were vying to snag it away. Cut to a few weeks later and NASA hasn’t yet appeared to budge on their original plans, but the Intrepid now seems in the process of trying to get all of its ducks in a row; ducks of the financial sort (this writer is still a bit jet lagged, so please forgive that last sentence).
