The space shuttle, Endeavor, all 65 tons, 78 ft wing span, and some
120 ft long, is on the move.
This time down the streets of Los Angeles from LAX to her final
resting
place, about 12 miles away.
Traveling at no more than 2 miles/hour, it is going to take awhile.
Quite a logistics accomplishment, considering the clearances are down
to about 12 inches in some places.
It's quite a sight in real time.
I looked at some of the pictures on-line of the move - very impressive
operation! I can only imagine how impressive it is to see in person.
