Space shuttle replica sprayed with graffiti in Clear Lake

[TexasTowelie]

KHOU-TV is reporting that the Space Shuttle Independence outside of Space Center Houston was hit by vandals overnight in Clear Lake.

KHOU has pictures showing graffiti that says things like "Houston we are the problem.".

The persons or persons who did this would have had to climb a short fence to access the shuttle. There is reportedly surveillance video that should help investigators.

The shuttle replica, christened the Independence earlier this fall after a naming contest, will be a part of a larger installation once the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft is brought to the museum.

1. Jeez, we can't even have replicas of nice things!

Good thing there's video. I hope they catch them and send them back to whatever forsaken state they're from. I don't get the feeling they're natives.
