The space shuttle Enterprise has arrived at its new Manhattan home, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. The prototype space shuttle left Jersey City on a barge Wednesday and began traveling up the Hudson River. It passed the Statue of Liberty and the World Trade Center site, and reached the Intrepid, where it was hoisted by crane onto the retired aircraft carrier's flight deck.
