Samuel Oschin Air & Space Center

I've seen all sorts of shuttles on TV before so I don't think I need to see them myself. But I was wrong, and the shuttle Endeavour must have seen them in person. Endeavour is huge and much bigger than it looks on TV it is also a "bright spot" for the entire museum. If you arrive early at the University of Southern California, you will not only see the shuttle Endeavour you can also enjoy a lot of fun at the California Science Center. But once the science center gets crowded because of the crowds, it's less interesting.

There are lots of planes. Most of them are not worth seeing. You will come here to see the space shuttle Endeavour, which is in its own building. The other four space shuttles are in different locations. Endeavour is placed on a bracket above people's heads so you can walk under it and watch up close. They are planning to put it in a vertical takeoff position with the fuel tank attached. The main orange tank has arrived on the scene ahead of time. I'll come back and watch it when it's in a new vertical launch position.

More conscious place, boys like it very much

The kids love it here, it's very seductive
