Shuttle Endeavour Embarking to Los Angeles Museum

Endeavour will be the second of NASA's space shuttles to leave the Kennedy Space Center. The ship will piggyback on top of a specially modified 747 and head to a Los Angeles museum this week. From the article: "Endeavour's lifespan was relatively short by shuttle standards - 25 missions over 20 years, totaling 299 days in space. But those flights ran the gamut of orbital odysseys, including the sheer moxie of its May 1992 debut when three astronauts made an impromptu and unprecedented spacewalk to rescue a stranded Intelsat communications satellite."

I can see why you post at -1... Try this on for size:

The California Science Center â"Endeavour's final home â" has agreed to replant twice as many trees along the route

And yes, as a matter of fact I DID vote for Obama, along with 75% of everyone who could be bothered to get off their asses and get out and vote. Are you trying to say President Palin was a better choice? And brace yourself, cause we're just about guaranteed 4 more years. And demographics are changing so quickly that every expert says the Republican party will cease to be viable on a national level by 2020, so get ready for them to massively change what they pretend to stand for.
