Visiting space shuttle Endeavour inside the Samuel Oschin Pavilion at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, on November 16, 2012.

Endeavour Update... A little more than two weeks after she officially opened to the public at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, I finally got around to visiting Endeavour at her temporary home in the Samuel Oschin Pavilion earlier today. Seeing the orbiter as a static museum display obviously isn't as thrilling as watching her soar over the skies of Southern California back in September or taking to the streets of Los Angeles last month, but Endeavour is still without a doubt a marvel to check out up-close in person. I can only imagine how awestruck I would've been seeing her roar off a launch pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida back when the shuttle program was still alive and kicking...
