Endeavour's Last Journey: A Final Voyage to the New Space Center

The space shuttle Endeavour is being moved from the California Science Center to its permanent location at the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. The shuttle will be displayed in a vertical position, along with the solid rocket boosters and an orange external tank, giving visitors multiple viewing platforms. The move is taking place in phases, with the shuttle's full stack being carefully placed and secured. The new center is expected to open to the public in at least three years, and scaffolding will be built around the stack to protect it during construction. The goal is to inspire people, especially children, to get involved in space exploration.
