it’s an amazing feat of engineering, cooperation and video game-style controls.

Shuttle Endeavour Begins LA Road Trip

Space Shuttle Endeavour will spend the rest of its days as a museum exhibit at the California Science Center (CSC) in Los Angeles. But its final mission has just commenced — a two day haul through LA streets.

A multi-axle, a computer controlled wheeled crawler called the Over Land Transporter (OLT) will carry the shuttle for most of the journey. But a Toyota Tundra will haul it the last 400 meters.

Although not a publicized viewing area for the public, local police departments advised thousands may turn up to see Endeavour waiting for its next move. Are you going to stop and say hey?

join the trip… AND see more photos…
