Shuttle Endeavour On Display

In what had taken a nationwide competition, three days of cross-country flight and a behind schedule jam-packed Los Angeles Streets 12-mile trek, the Shuttle Endeavour arrived its destination October 14, 2012 and formally opens on display today, October 30, 2012, where it's temporarily set up at the Samuel Oschin Space Display Pavilion. Museum visitors won't be able to go inside Endeavour but can navigate the flight deck and mid-deck by using a touch-tone display. Also on display is the Endeavour's zero-gravity toilet at the science center. Ehirim Files Images
