 Museums and other facilities not selected to receive an orbiter were disappointed.Elected officials representing Houston, Texas, location of the Johnson Space Center; and Dayton, Ohio, location of National Museum of the United States Air Force called for Congressional investigations into the selection process, though no such action was taken.While local and Congressional politicians in Texas questioned if partisan politics played a role in the selection, former JSC Director Wayne Hale wrote "Houston didn't get an orbiter because Houston didn't deserve it" pointing to weak support from area politicians, media and residents, describing a "sense of entitlement".
