Summary

[edit]
Description

The morning dawn arrives in Los Angeles, at California Science Center, home of Space Shuttle Endeavour.

Endeavour should have arrived the previous evening around 9PM. It's been nine hours since, but because of technical issues with the ground transport dollies as well as clearance issues for some objects along the Shuttle's path, the Shuttle is still two miles or so away. Actual arrival would be around 1PM. Only a few dozen diehard spectators had stayed here overnight (I actually went away to a comedy club in the early evening, then went home for a few hours of quick nap, before coming back).

Endeavour's temporary home is the lighted open structure, known as Samuel Oschin Pavilion, named after a late local philanthropist who provided much of the funding for hosting of the Space Shuttle in Los Angeles. 30 October 2012 will be the opening day of the pavilion as a full-fledged exhibit. The permanent home, Samuel Oschin Air & Space Center, is in the works here on the grounds of California Science Center, scheduled to open in 2017; Endeavour will be its star attraction, by then placed vertically in a launch configuration complete with external fuel tank and boosters.
