NASA director shows up at the last shuttle pilot's home...

"We need you back, Doug..."

He retired only a couple years ago (after flying the Crew Dragon DEMO-2 mission), so he might be up for it! To continue this jocular train of thought a bit further, which shuttle would they refurbish? Atlantis, Discovery, or Endeavor?

Atlantis obvously, it was the last shuttle to service the Hubble, and at that point it was the only one with enough oxygen for a longer stay.
