It s a great science museum but the pride and joy of the California Science Center is getting up close with Space Shuttle Endeavour. It is a joy that the space shuttle is here in Southern California. It was a long journey to get the space shuttle here, an adventure which is recapped in detail by the museum. From a flyby over the Hollywood sign, to towing it down city streets that were barely wide enough to accommodate it, to having it pulled by a sole Toyota Tundra over a freeway overpass, the story of how it got to Exposition Park is fantastic and wondrous. Much of the space shuttles were built in Southern California so it is fitting that the shuttle will live here for the long haul. Seeing the Endeavour in front of me was astonishing it looked larger than I thought it would and left my jaw dropped and a huge smile on my face. I also got to touch a space shuttle tire that had been in space, which was memorable.
