The space shuttle Endeavour makes its final landing Friday (above) touching down at Los Angeles International Airport. The former orbiter took a flight around the L.A. area before it becomes a permanent attraction at the California Science Center in Exposition Park.
Allen Murakoshi, president of the Astronaut Ellison Onizuka Memorial Committee, said Endeavour’s enshrinement here in California is a befitting tribute to those who have contributed to NASA’s space program. “Let it also be a symbol of appreciation to those that sacrificed their lives to make this happen.”
