Endeavour Fest...

Visiting space shuttle Endeavour inside the Samuel Oschin Pavilion at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, on October 13, 2013.

Yesterday, I went back to the California Science Center in Los Angeles to commemorate the one-year anniversary of space shuttle Endeavour's arrival at her permanent museum home. Along with once again seeing the orbiter in person, the SpaceX Dragon capsule that was on display in downtown L.A. four months ago was also shown at the science center. And so was the Red Bull Stratos capsule as well as the pressure suit worn by Felix Baumgartner during his space jump above New Mexico one year ago today (which is also the exact date that Endeavour rolled into the Samuel Oschin Pavilion after a three-day trip from Los Angeles International Airport). Click here to view images of the Red Bull Stratos exhibit. Needless to say, L.A. was the place to be this weekend to see displays showing off the past, present and future of aerospace and human spaceflight... That is all.
