While attention is on the western part of Texas today as Star Trek actor William Shatner is about to be launched into space, a space milestone of sorts took place on this date nine years ago.
It was nine years ago today that the space shuttle Endeavor was towed through the streets of Inglewood and Los Angeles to its permanent home at Exposition Park in Los Angeles.

I got up around 2:45 am that morning and went to Inglewood to view the shuttle as it was being towed down Manchester Blvd. A sizable crowd was already on hand when I arrived.
This was the second time I saw the shuttle Endeavor in person. I witnessed its landing at Edwards Air Force Base following its maiden flight into space in May 1992
