NASA Lands A Space On Monopoly

and who said irony doesn't work in space
by Staff Writers
 Houston TX (SPX) Sep 14, 2006
 Rent, own or build a community at NASA's Johnson Space Center. Deed title price: $1.8 million. By popular vote, the Johnson Space Center landed a space in the classic property trading game of Monopoly.

During a modern makeover of the game, Hasbro -- the parent company of Monopoly -- offered the public a chance to vote on current day iconic locations to be represented in its "Here and Now" edition.

America voted, and the people's choice granted the center a property space on the board. JSC was one of three Houston-area locations, winning 79 percent of the vote ahead of Houston's museum district and the Kemah Boardwalk.

NASA's Johnson Space Center received more votes than nine of the 21 other major cities including Dallas, Atlanta and Miami.

The Saturn V rocket now inhabits the space that replaced Tennessee Avenue, spotlighting NASA's space center in Houston.

 Russia's parliament voted Wednesday against a motion to send the celebrated US singer, actress and children's book author Madonna to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2008. Alexei Mitrofanov, a member of the Duma (the lower house of parliament) for the ultra-nationalist LDPR party, had said the trip would be "a great event to organise in the same year as elections in the United States and Russia."
