It will be readied for display in California.
Geoff in New Zealand alerted me to a space.com post about Endeavor with a video of what goes on during the launch.
When you go to the link it starts playing the video with an thirteen second ad. When you finish there is another ad then a clip of the landing.
Forgetting the ads, it is a very moving video, especially if you can view in full screen on your PC.
I will post a link to another link that will give you a link, so that you can read the comment before the video starts if you go to the space.com link.
Ummm, the link is powered by AI, which you may like to check out as well. :-)

Shuttle Comes Alive - The Power of Launch
Tuesday, May 31, 2011 - 09:30 in Astronomy & Space
Sure, a Space Shuttle is a bunch of technology. But the sum of Endeavor's parts adds to an extremely emotional experience; especially on launch. Multiple cameras, mic arrays and graphic overlays capture the energetic essence in symphonic glory.

http://esciencenews.com/aboutMeet our editor
There is no human editor behind e! Science News; it is powered by the e! news engine, a fully automated artificial intelligence.Its sole purpose is to ensure that you have access to the very latest and popular science breakthroughs. To achieve this, it constantly surfs the web to gather, regroup, categorize, tag and rank science news from all major science news sources.
It computes relationships between science articles and news found on the web using a vector space model and hierarchical clustering. It then automatically determines in which category each news item belongs using a Naive Bayes classifier. Finally, it examines multiple parameters (such as timeliness, rate of appearance on the web, number of sources reporting the news, etc) for each news group. The result is an e! score which represents the relative importance of a news item.
Thanks to e! Science News, you now have a smart way to keep up to date with fast-evolving science!
e! Science News was built and is maintained by Michael Imbeault, PhD student in Retrovirology & Bioinformatics. The site is not affiliated with any linked-to publications or sites.
Here is the Space.com site. Video should start with an ad. Other videos at the site as well.

Launch of STS-134When Endeavour launches on NASA's 36th mission to the International Space Station, the STS-134 crew of six astronauts will begin a mission to stock the station with spare parts and a world-class stellar research instrument.
Space Shuttle Endeavour lifts off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on its final mission. Commander Mark Kelly and crew will deliver the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer to the International Space Station.

STS-134 Lands, Endeavour Completes Last Mission
Endeavour returns to Earth at the end of its final mission, STS-134. During the flight, Commander Mark Kelly and crew delivered the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer to the International Space Station.

Next stop, Endeavour to California Science Center on the West Coast of USA, to be viewed by tourists.
On the East Cost you can view the shuttle Enterprise at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington Dulles International Airport.

Shuttle Endeavour's next Mission: Getting Cleaned Up for Museum Life.
With its final space mission in the history books, the shuttle Endeavour begins preparations for a life of leisure as a museum showpiece.
Endeavour touched down at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida before sunrise today (June 1), bringing an end to its 16-day STS-134 spaceflight. Only one mission now remains for NASA's fleet of space shuttles: the STS-135 flight of Atlantis, scheduled to launch July 8.
After a lengthy decommissioning process, Endeavour, the youngest orbiter in the fleet, should be ready to be shipped out west for display at the CaliforniaScience Center in Los Angeles by next springsnip

OK, for grins, one more link to the Space.Com video from the British Business Finder web site.
It will grow stale but at least made the news on the other side of the pond.

NASA STS-135
The NASA Authorization Act of 2010 directs NASA to conduct the STS-135 mission. The Space Shuttle Program has added the mission to the manifest to prepare for a potential target launch date in early July.
Atlantis will carry the Raffaello multipurpose logistics module to deliver supplies, logistics and spare parts to the International Space Station. The mission also will fly a system to investigate the potential for robotically refueling existing spacecraft and return a failed ammonia pump module to help NASA better understand the failure mechanism and improve pump designs for future systems.
