Endeavour sets sail into retirement


Bound for Southern California where America's space shuttle fleet was born, the retired spaceship Endeavour leaves her homeport at the Kennedy Space Center on Sept. 19 atop a modified 747 carrier jet, then makes a final salute to the spaceport with a low-altitude flyby.
