The "Big, Beautiful Bill" has nearly $10 billion earmarked for NASA – including funding for a Houston program that was on the chopping block.

The massive tax and immigration bill moving through Congress would transfer the space shuttle Discovery from the Smithsonian to a museum in Houston.

Moving Discovery was the goal of legislation brought earlier this year by Texas Republican Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, who said in April that Houston's long ties to the space program should have been recognized with a space shuttle when four were retired by NASA in 2010.
