I'm less concerned with where they park the retired shuttles than I am with the pathetic shortsightedness evident in the current administration.
Russians are prepared to take your tax dollars to fly Americans to space.

They just commissioned their new Soyuz TMA-M and there are proposals for Soyuz-K. In addition to that in Thursday they promised to develop successor for Soyuz.

I think that its good investment as I believe that it doesn't matter who will be president in America. I doubt NASA will get more money. They may even cancel Orion as its not absolutely necessary. There are Russians and I'm sure they understand language of dollar!
