Two senators from Texas want to move the Space Shuttle Discovery from the Smithsonian in Virginia to Houston. NPR's David Folkenflik talks with activist Joe Stief of the group Keep The Shuttle.

David Folkenflik was described by Geraldo Rivera of Fox News as "a really weak-kneed, backstabbing, sweaty-palmed reporter." Others have been kinder. The Columbia Journalism Review, for example, once gave him a "laurel" for reporting that immediately led the U.S. military to institute safety measures for journalists in Baghdad.
