CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Freedom Star, one of NASA's solid rocket booster retrieval ships, ushers the Space Shuttle Program's last external fuel tank, ET-122, toward NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The tank traveled 900 miles by sea from NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans aboard the Pegasus Barge. After reaching the Turn Basin at Kennedy, the tank will be offloaded and moved to the Vehicle Assembly Building where it eventually will be attached to space shuttle Endeavour for the STS-134 mission to the International Space Station. STS-134, targeted to launch in Feb. 2011, currently is scheduled to be the last mission in the Space Shuttle Program.The tank, which is the largest element of the space shuttle stack, was damaged during Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 and restored to flight configuration by Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company employees.

Le Havre, or elsewhere. Series on the city of Le Havre celebrating its 500th anniversary this year. Many festivities are organized even if the context is not very favorable because the port, gradually losing ground compared to its competitors in northern Europe, is likely to be gently stripped of the striped map. Le Havre, ou ailleurs. Série sur la ville du Havre qui fête ses 500 ans cette année. De nombreuses festivités sont organisées même si le contexte y est peu propice car le port, perdant peu à peu du terrain par rapport à ses concurrents du Nord de lEurope, risque dêtre doucement rayé de la rayé de la carte.
