Space Shuttle Endeavour Embarks on L.A. Road Trip

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Space shuttle Endeavour has hit the road.

The black and white winged orbiter, which is the youngest in NASA’s now retired fleet, left Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) atop a self-propelled, overland transporter in the early morning hours on Friday (Oct. 12). The motion signaled the start of a 2-day road trip to deliver Endeavour to its new exhibit at the California Science Center (CSC).
