[i]A NASA spokesman has confirmed the Canadarm will be removed and sent to Canada when the shuttle is back on the ground. But he did not have a timetable for the arm's return, adding that NASA and the Canadian Space Agency are still negotiating. Stephen Quick, director general of the Ottawa museum, says the Canadarm's first stop will be the Canadian Space Agency, near Montreal. "I believe they're going to try and display it a bit and, at some point down the road, it's heading our way, he told The Canadian Press... Quick says the Ottawa museum wants to make sure the Canadian robotic sensation is properly displayed when it arrives. "We're kind of working out the engineering to be able to do that," he said. "I guess we'll be reinforcing a number of elements in the museum to be able to hang it," he said. "It's fairly heavy and it won't support its own weight."[/i]
