Just before midnight Friday, the space shuttle Endeavor is pulled along Manchester Blvd. and over the freeway 405 freeway by a Toyota pickup truck. The filmed stunt enabled the automobile company to promote it's investment in the California Science Center where the shuttle will be on permanent exhibit.
