The move to Endeavor in the city was planned in great detail and carefully, because its mass and size were too huge, especially the two wings were very easy to touch high-rise buildings when turning at sections. crab.
According to the Telegraph, about 400 trees were removed and many power lines were dismantled to make way for Endeavor to pass.'Everything went as planned and exactly as we hoped,' said Jeffrey Rudolph, head of the California Science Center.
After this last trip, Endeavor will be on display at the California Science Center.
The US space agency (NASA) ended the shuttle program last year after 30 years of implementation. NASA's other fate shuttles: Enterprise - the space shuttle has never been flown into space, lying in the runway of a spacecraft in New York; Atlantis ships are kept at the Kennedy Space Center; Discovery ship will be on display in a museum in Washington.
Two other shuttles, Challenger and Columbia, exploded during their journey in 1986 and 2003, killing all of the crew. These two disasters are also the main reason why NASA stopped its shuttle program.
