The space shuttle Endeavour touched down at Ellington Field outside of Houston on Wednesday, and the masses flocked to see the orbiter that's been part of NASA's fleet since its first flight in 1992. From Houston, Endeavour will ride on top of the specialized Boeing 747 that's carrying it to Los Angeles, where it will be officially retired.
Ars got an up-close look at the space shuttle making its final rounds.
