Space Shuttle Endeavour

A NASA fuel tank arrived at a port on Wednesday ahead of a planned mission this weekend to tow the giant apparatus through the streets of Los Angeles and display it with the space shuttle Endeavour at a science center.

Space shuttle Atlantis' final journey to retirement is down broad industrial avenues, most of them off-limits to the public. So Friday's trek won't replicate the narrow, stop-and-go turns Endeavour encountered last month while navigating downtown Los Angeles.

The retired space shuttle Endeavour set off on Friday for a road trip unlike any of its previous journeys, one in which it will crawl through the streets of Los Angeles instead of hurtling through space.
