The retired space shuttle Endeavour is finally open to the public at the California Science Center's new Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center.
Today, the Los Angeles science museum officially opened the massive new wing after more than three decades in development. The centerpiece is the retired shuttle, which flew 25 missions to Earth orbit from 1992 to 2011 and stood nearly 200 feet tall in launch position. Visitors can peer inside, see the robotic arm, and explore interactive exhibits at the base. The museum is free to the public, but visitors need an online reservation during the opening days.
