Space Shuttle’s Fuel Tank arrives in LA
A towering space shuttle fuel tank has completed its trek through the streets of Los Angeles to reach the California Science Center in downtown.
ET-94, the last remaining external fuel tank from NASA’s space shuttle program arrived just after 7 p.m. Saturday, wrapping up a carefully-coordinated journey down 16 ½ miles of streets to the museum at Exposition Park.
The tank, which arrived by barge from a NASA facility in Louisiana to Marina del Rey on Wednesday, began moving shortly after midnight. It was escorted by police, a fire truck and several city officials as it moved through city streets where crews trimmed a few trees and unbolted stoplight poles so they wouldn’t hit the tank.
At the museum, the tank will be displayed upright along with the retired orbiter Endeavor and two solid-rocket boosters, as if ready for takeoff.
