Space Shuttle Endeavours Final Journey
Space shuttle Endeavour is on its way to a Los Angeles museum where it will spend its retirement. The shuttle began its move late Thursday from the Los Angeles International Airport on a two day, 12-mile trip to the California Science Center where it will go on display. In its service days the shuttle traveled at 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour) to remain in orbit. Now it will be traveling no more than 2 miles per hour down the side streets of Los Angeles.
The Endeavour moved from its hangar and began its last journey just after 11:30 p.m. PDT Thursday night.

Thanks for fucking over the American people, crushing our economy and killing our space program, obama.
Democrat voters should be rounded up and put into labor camps.

Are you serious?... Can you prove that?.. Can your country do that?.
The country I live is advanced into space, but you won't hear about.
