While I too applaud her efforts, that Mr. Lanius is right, she is jumping the gun over someone else's business.

Amanda Meyer is a nice young lady, and as well meaning as she is, she's a third party in this," said Roger Launius, chairman of space history at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.

The space suit's fate will be reconsidered at the end of the year, NASA said. The agency plans to ask the Smithsonian to keep it in Florida.

Launius said Meyer is ignoring a key issue: The Grissom Memorial hasn't asked for the suit, a necessary first step before starting a transfer.

I would venture to say that I would not have even bothered if the Grissom Memorial had not asked first yet.
