LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 5: Tree stumps remain along Manchester Boulevard where workers have cut down some of the almost 400 trees slated removal to make way for moving the space shuttle Endeavour to its new home at Exposition Park on September 5, 2012 in the Los Angeles-area community of Inglewood, California. Many residents are unhappy about the removal of so many mature trees. The city plans to replace the many mature the trees with new young trees. The space shuttle Endeavour circled the Earth more than 4,600 times and spent 299 days in space during its 25 missions, including one to repair NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
