Endeavour's final touch down.
Waited for it in Griffith park on top of the city: flew right over us at the last pass of three over Los Angeles. Had tears in my eyes.

I was at Disneyland and saw the Endeavour fly over at about 12:23pm. Just an awe-inspiring sight to see. Can't wait to see it go on it's 12 mile, two day journey through the streets of Los Angeles to get to the California Science Center.
She was built in Palmdale, CA during the late '80's. Welcome back home to California Endeavour! Endeavour California Flyby Pictures .

I am wondering why this is so emotional. Is is that we would like the America of the 80's to come back with it?

Space travel is a grand adventure that we all secretly wish we could do too.

My wife told me yesterday, that she read about a large number of trees that will be cut down along the route to get Endeavour to the museum. Having recently been FORCED to remove large, healthy, beautiful trees, this is very saddening to me.
Decimating our space program is waving a big, white flag for the world to see. JFK is rolling over in his grave.
