Is 400 trees worth moving the retired NASA shuttle?

So now that Endeavour is retiring, the question is how do we get it to the science museum in Los Angeles? The question is solved, but the price is hefty. 400 tress will be removed in order to transport the shuttle. To environmentalists, this is a horrible idea, because not only are they removing 400 trees, but the machines used to cut down the trees are releasing emissions. On the bright side, two trees will be planted for each one that is cut down. Unfortunately, it will take about a century for the trees to reach their full height.
