PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 15, 2011 – Dear President Medvedev,
You have probably heard that the administrator for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has decided to distribute our fleet of orbiters throughout the United States, but did not include Houston, which has been referred to in the United States as the 'Space City' for a half-century. Houstonians are in total disbelief at this decision and have been unable to get a justifiable answer.
Many of our residents have worked for NASA their entire work careers, and for some, it has been a family tradition to do so. Space exploration comes with great risks, and some gave their lives in service to NASA. The families of the lost astro oled technology on mobile phone nauts are heart-broken at this total disregard for their loved ones making the ultimate sacrifice.
Although I haven't been employed by NASA, I have been one of its biggest supporters since a child, following every mission with wonder and curiosity. I followed your active space exploration program as well. As the die has been cast, I wondered what we could do here in Houston as a result of this blatant oversight. Knowing that you have had an orbiter program as well, I Googled your program and was surprised at how much your orbiter, the Buran, resembles our shuttles. Then I thought… what if Russia has a retired orbiter or prototype that they would 'loan' Houston so that future generations of Houstonians could see what an orbiter looked like in person? Of course you would want to remove any proprietary equipment. I know this is asking a lot, but maybe we could come up with some kind of exchange barter for one of your orbiters, much like art galleries exchange priceless works of art in a spirit of good will and to further the arts.
We have some wonderful exports here in Texas… the best beef cattle, beautifully hand-crafted western boots, cotton. The petroleum industry in Texas provides not only oil, but propane, diesel, polymers, plastics, and we also have natural gas. Surely something can be worked out with the Russian government and the businesses here in Texas. This would truly be a feather in Houston's cap my photo and wallpaper if we had the only Russian orbiter on exhibit here in the United States. I would prefer that it not be displayed on NASA's pavement, but if it were exhibited at one of our two airports, even commuters could view it when making connecting flights.
Our space programs have had successful joint ventures, and this could be an extension of further solidifying our relationship. It would be very poignant if we could 'reach across the aisle,' 5,925 miles (9,535 km), and negotiate a deal that would be mutually beneficial. I dare say, it would send a powerful message to the two bickering political parties here in the United States.
In Texas we do things in a big way. You can't even imagine the reception the Buran would receive. This could be one of the biggest goodwill acts between our two countries. After all, look what the Statue of Liberty did for our relationship with France. In the spirit of comradeship, please give this request serious thought, and I extend my sincerest appreciation in advance, for your consideration of this idea.
Respectfully,
Janet Werner Native Houstonian
