For the final time in history, a space shuttle is now being ferried across the United States mounted on top of a NASA jumbo jet. “It’s a sight to see,” said former astronaut Mark Kelly, about watching Endeavour, the shuttle he was last to command, soar atop a Boeing 747. “It’s an amazing feat to stick something that heavy, on top of another airplane and fly it through the air.” collectSPACE is photo documenting Endeavour during its cross-country tour as it is delivered to Los Angeles for its permanent display at the California Science Center.
