The Space Shuttle Endeavour is being prepared for its final display at the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, with a 450-foot crane lifting it into a position that mimics liftoff. The shuttle, which completed 25 missions and played a key role in the Hubble Space Telescope and International Space Station projects, is being carefully maneuvered into place to avoid damage. The project is a culmination of 34 years of anticipation for Kenneth Phillips, curator of aerospace science at the California Science Center, and is seen as a symbol of achievement in the face of complexity.
