Museums that wanted an orbiter could apply for one, but they had to say how the ship would be displayed, how their exhibit would “inspire the American public,” and—most important—how they would raise the $28.8 million needed for cleaning and transport.
As a result, the California Science Center will soon be one of only four museums to house a space shuttle: Endeavour is due to land in Los Angeles in 2012. [Photo]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltdnyxsCYy1qzprlbo1_r1_400.png)
