"California Science Center Crews Successfully Position Massive Fuel Tank for Space Shuttle Endeavour Display"
TL;DR
Crews at the California Science Center lifted a massive external fuel tank, known as ET-94, into a vertical position as part of the eventual upright display of the space shuttle Endeavour. The tank, weighing about 65,000 pounds and measuring 154 feet long, was delicately placed between two already-standing solid rocket boosters inside the future Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. This $400 million project will double the science center's educational exhibit space and is expected to open in the coming months.
