The California Science Center, which last May announced it was receiving NASA's External Tank 94 (ET-94) to mate with the space shuttle Endeavour for a new vertical launch pad-like exhibit to open in 2019, has now set the route and dates for the orange-brown tank's move from New Orleans to Los Angeles. The journey, which will see the external tank pass through the Panama Canal and navigate the streets of L.A., comes almost three and a half years after Endeavour arrived atop a NASA jumbo jet and completed a similar road trip to the Science Center. "It is another really significant move and it is another really significant piece of the shuttle," Jeff Rudolph, the Science Center's president and CEO, said in an exclusive interview with collectSPACE. "It's an incredibly historic artifact, being the last of its kind."[/i]</blockquote> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-030316b-external-tank-et94-endeavour.html" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/images/news-030316a-lg.jpg" width="400" height="265" border="0"></a></center> <a name="032816a"></a>[/B][/QUOTE]
