This is starting to sound like an episode of Star Trek.

Could this attempted hijack qualify as space piracy? Or only if above the Karman line?

> In April, TX Sens. Cornyn and Cruz, introduced the "Bring the Space Shuttle Home Act" that called for Discovery to be relocated from [NASM Annex] in northern VA and displayed at Space Center Houston.

For $1M the recent disaster could’ve been prevented. Priorities I guess.
