	Endeavour is now about 2 blocks away from the Science Center, as the Shuttle has cleared the trees on MLK Blvd. ____________ BSG Anthem My Facebook page

	Well it is about time for the Left turn onto that narrow street, the Shuttle will pass by the Memorial Coliseum where USC plays its Football Games on its way to Science Center next door. And these are the last that I can take as the local LA News is off of the air now. Sorry about this pic, flash was enabled and I had trouble turning the flash off. ABC is very quick to change shots too, I'm lucky I got these two final shots as the batteries needed to be recharged soon after. ____________ BSG Anthem My Facebook page

	Ok I just snapped a few more, there might be more later of Shuttle Endeavor on Mission 26, as it has reached the Science Center near the LA Colliseum in Los Angeles CA. The Shuttle Endeavor will be inside this hanger for the next few years, eventually the plan is to put the Shuttle in a launch position, oh and there will be NO entry to go inside the Shuttle itself... ____________ BSG Anthem My Facebook page

	At a CERN meeting on space related physics research in Geneva Bill Gerstenmeier from NASA spoke of a manned mission to the L2 Lagrange point of the Earth-Moon system being planned. It will require a new heavy lifter. Tullio ____________
