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.

It is one of the saddest days of my life to see the symbolic end of the
US space program. In the fifties and sixties as kids we were sure we
would always be first, as the space program represented to us that this
country could do anything, and except for Sputnik we did. Now the US
has to stand by the side of the space road thumbing a ride into space.

All of the technical advances that have enter mainstream from the space
programs are ending. Things like the Laser surgeries that they are
doing routinely today, which we would not have without the initial work
in President Reagan Starwar programs. Everything from advances in
medicine to Tang. The space program was the central point in the
federal research program, and there are millions of things that we think
of necessities today that started in the space program.

In some ways it is also symbolic of decline of what was once a great
nation.

I hope we will realize what we are doing before we become just an
another of the many debit ridden countries that are trying to survive as
independent countries. A debit ridden nation that has a first lady who
said the only time she was proud to be an American was when her husband
became president.

There was no crash to slid into. She used "crash" as an object rather
than an action.

Don't get me started on "over turned vehicle". Is over turning the same
thing as over steering??? Your turn a vehicle, can you under turn a

Traveling at no more than 2 miles/hour, it is going to take awhile.

Quite a logistics accomplishment, considering the clearances are down

It's quite a sight in real time.

We have a pretty nice looking anchor at CH2 in Houston. But she traded

I think she was born in the 70's, I recall when she started with CH2 as
the fumbling stumbling new kid back in the mid 90's. And I recall her
still infamous quote, "The airplane skidded into a crash."

Ouch!

What's wrong with that? Surely you can skid without crashing?

There was no crash to slid into. She used "crash" as an object rather
than an action.

She DE-gerunded it? How crass!


Don't get me started on "over turned vehicle". Is over turning the same
thing as over steering??? Your turn a vehicle, can you under turn a
vehicle?

No, you steer a vehicle, and have understeer and oversteer.
You overturn (aka: FLIP) Beemers, Exploders, and other SUVs.

I have been following this too and it is fascinating. Like moving a
large two or three story house through a crowded city but in spades.
I stood in the shadow of the assembled shuttle in near launch
configuration at the rocket and space museum in Alabama a few years
ago and got a surprising perspective of how large it is

I don't know why, but it made me think about the Spruce Goose when it
was at Long Beach. I walked into the large, plastic dome near the
Queen Mary, saw the goose on the opposite side of the building and
thought "It ain't all that big." Then we walked across the floor, up
under the wings and I realized "Wow!".
