（洛杉矶13日綜合電）去年6月退役的美國奮進号（Endeavour）太空梭，上月搭乘波音747客機，由過去服役的佛州卡納維爾角空軍基地飛抵加州，周五離開暫時停靠的洛杉矶國際機場，朝向加州的科學中心作永久展覽。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。8 K- V* Y6 j5 {6 i# m# V/ ]2 c
由于太空梭機身龐大，高度超過5層樓，重量逾76.5公噸，沿途的路燈、招牌、行道樹等障礙都必須移除，比上太空還麻煩，可算是太空飛行裏程數超過2億公裏的奮進号最困難的任務。
佛州空軍基地當天借調4輛拖車，執行這次拖運任務，特殊設計的拖車，40對巨型車輪，每對輪胎都可單獨調整方向來運往它。

Mom there's a space ship outside! The fastest thing that ever flew takes two days to cover 12 mile journey through LA streets to museum

Endeavour's 12-mile road trip kicked off shortly before midnight on Thursday as it moved from its Los Angeles International Airport hangar to the California Science Center
Operators are walking beside Endeavour - top speed two miles per hour - maneuvering the craft over freeways and through residential neighborhoods, and some spots are narrower than Endeavour's wingspan

At its prime the space shuttle Endeavour was the fastest craft ever operated by man, hitting speeds of up 18,00 mph or Mach 25 on re-entry to the Earth's atmosphere - but today the spacecraft's last trip is going a lot more slowly.

Setting off last night from Los Angeles International Aiport to its new home at the California Science Center, Endeavour will spend two days traveling the 12 mile distance at a top speed of 2 mph.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb8 _( A) ^( h0 d7 g5 I. n5 X

And while the patient trawl through LA's streets may not be the riskiest of final missions for the shuttle, it is one of the most complicated Endeavour has undertaken.公仔箱論壇1 j5 S# q$ g$ D7 Q
