Summary
The California Science Center in Los Angeles has unveiled the Space Shuttle Endeavour in its 'full stack' configuration — the only place in the world where a complete space shuttle system (orbiter, external tank, and solid rocket boosters) is displayed vertically as if ready for launch. Endeavour, the last and most advanced orbiter ever built, is the centerpiece of the new Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, a 200,000-square-foot museum expansion. The article details the complex engineering and logistics of assembling the full stack, the historical significance of Endeavour's 25 missions, and the educational mission of the new facility.
