On Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles, California, the space shuttle Endeavour rolled to its final home at the California Science Center, where it will soon go on public display. The journey was twelve miles, from the Los Angeles International Airport to the center, and took more than two days to complete. Trees and traffic signs were obstacles for the space shuttle and had to be removed to allow it to get by. The shuttle was so carefully navigated through some parts of the streets that the distance between one of the wings and a tree was barely that of the width of a credit card. So, after 22-year career and 25 missions, Endeavour will be on display in a pavilion built just for the shuttle.
