Houston's 'Space Shuttle' to get new name in Texas contest
Florida has Atlantis, California is home to Endeavour, Virginia displays Discovery and New York has Enterprise. Texas has a space shuttle, too — a full-scale, high-fidelity mockup of the NASA winged vehicles — but what the Lone Star State's orbiter doesn't have is a name.

Even through I live in Massachusetts, I think it should be call either Columbia or Challenger in honor of these Shuttles who were tragically destroyed in accidents on January 28, 1986 and February 1, 2003 respectfully.
Agreed.. Would be appropriate.
AMEN
I think it should be called "Independence" complimenting the Texas Spirit!
Ditto. That was my first thought, also.
I think Texas should be getting the Enterprise and New York can find a name for the mockup.
