My love of astronomy shows up in these blogs a little more often than I would have expected but the video of the space shuttle Endeavour making it final journey is quite cool and a little sad. Only five space shuttles were built and Endeavour was the fifth and last craft manufactured. It was constructed to replace the Challenger which blew up just a few seconds after launch back in 1986. During its years of service, Eneavour flew 25 missions and spent 296 days in space. First launched in May 1992 it has now flown its last mission. After 3 days of careful maneuvering through the streets of Los Angeles it has reached its destination, the California Science Center. The video of its final journey is about 3 minutes long.
