California Science Center
Just thought I'd share this awesome image—taken by a drone operated by the California Science Center—of Endeavour's Space Shuttle Stack proudly standing tall with the downtown Los Angeles skyline visible in the distance.
Following the winter storm that soaked Southern California for a couple of days last week, the Science Center took this opportunity to capture a soon-to-be-iconic image of NASA's youngest retired orbiter poised in a vertical launch position for the first time since mission STS-134 almost 13 years ago...with L.A.'s infamous smog layer nowhere to be seen in this picture.
Eventually, the Science Center will fully cover the Space Shuttle Stack in scaffolding and plywood for temporary protection as construction continues on the future Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center!
