External Tank 94, a 69,000-pound artifact from NASA's space shuttle program, is en route to a permanent home at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. The tank, which was one of 138 built at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, is the last of its kind. ET-94 left its storage site there this week on a barge for its five-week journey. The barge will travel to the Pacific via the Panama Canal and arrive in southern California next month, as reported by the Los Angeles Times. There, crews will place the tank on a specially assembled wheeled mount for a drive through L.A. streets to the Science Center. There, it will go on display with the shuttle Endeavour, which took a similar trip through the city in 2012.
