Please sign the petition to bring a space shuttle to New York City and The Intrepid.

NASA is retiring their Space Shuttle fleet and has announced that they will make three space shuttles – Discovery, Endeavor and Atlantis – available to different institutions throughout the US.

New York City would make an ideal home for one of these retiring shuttles. The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum has applied to NASA for consideration to bring the shuttle to New York City’s west side. The shuttle would be prominently displayed alongside of The USS Intrepid and the Growler Submarine at Manhattan’s Pier 86.

The Intrepid has a proud history with NASA and our space program, serving as a primary spacecraft recovery vessel during the 1960s. More recently, The Intrepid hosted the final stop of the “Legends of Aerospace Tour”, which included visits by Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan, the first and last astronauts to walk on the moon.

Please sign our petition to NASA. Help bring a space shuttle here to NYC and to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. Your participation can help further enrich our minds and our imaginations. Thank you for your support.
