collectSPACE.com — Spacecraft Operator (SCO) Bill Powers with United Space Alliance (USA) completes the final steps to power up space shuttle Endeavour's flight deck for one of the last times on Thursday, May 3, 2012.

Endeavour is the last of NASA's space shuttles that can still be powered. Discovery and Atlantis were "unplugged" for the final times in 2011.

Endeavour is being prepared for display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.

Coming soon to shuttles.collectspace.com — One last look inside Endeavour, its cockpit lit for a last time.
