NASA Administrator Charles F. Bolden, Jr. just announced the permanent display locations of the space shuttle fleet when the program ends this year. According to the retired US Marine Corps Major General, Enterprise (aerodynamic test vehicle) will move from the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum Stephen F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York City. Discovery will go to the NASM while Endeavour will be displayed at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. The last bird, Atlantis, will reside at Kennedy Space Center from where all of the shuttles were launched since STS-1 Columbia inaugurated the shuttle space flight program 30 years ago today.
