California Science Center lifting space shuttle Endeavour into launch position

[@yxeaviationphotog]

Endeavour was the second last shuttle to orbit the earth. Last shuttle was Atlantis on STS-135.

I was just under the end ever at the science center n it was amazing omg I can’t wait to see it again

[@pebmets]

Endeavour was STS-134. The last Space Shuttle to orbit the earth was STS-135, Atlantis. It retired in 2011 not 2012. Surprised the news team did not verify facts before airing.

[@6allmotivepowers363]

They almost never do. 😑

[@AlphaGametauri]

I wonder if they meant the last space shuttle that was built to orbit.

[@pebmets]

@@AlphaGametauri Still 2 errors which should have been caught before going live. News organizations used to verify work, The mistakes they made were easy to verify by going to the NASA site. When Wikipedia is more accurate than your news team, there is a problem.

Space shuttle was so effing awesome.

[@pebmets]

Fun Fact. Discovery is displayed in its landing position. Atlantis is displayed in its flight position with cargo bay doors open, and now Endeavour is going to be displayed in its launch position. I have seen Atlantis many times, but will fly out just to see Endeavour when the display is ready.

This is a good idea to display the shuttle. I really want to see it when it’s done.

[@christinasullivan6073]

I remember watching the launch for Endeavours maiden flight. Seems a long time ago.

[@John-nc4bl]

Thanks for your reply. I find it strange that the British were not involved with the Shuttle program but the Shuttle was named for a historic ship that arrived at a New Zealand shore. If the ship had arrived at an American shore, than I could understand a connection with regards to the current spelling of the name.

[@akkseljohansson3601]

The Space shuttle was the last ingeniousity of Werner v. Braun. There would be no space travel without the German scientists.

[@aerohk]

When will it open up to the public?

[@chipdale490]

I remember skipping school to watch the very first shuttle launch on live TV. I was 14 at the time. 😅 Ever since, I wanted to be an astronaut.

Endeavor will be displayed in launch positions. Atlantis is displayed in orbiting position and Discovery is displayed in landing position.

[@bxpress6507]

This might be 1st time for this space shuttle be assembled outside of nasa but space shuttle enterprise was stacked in Vandenberg in 1980s when the space shuttles were to be launched there in 1980s for DOD missions only..enterprise was just a demo shuttle to see if Vandenberg facilities were perfect fit..unfortunately the exhaust vents were considered dangerous..after challenger accident Vandenberg was quickly mothballed launching space shuttles..enterprise never was made space flight ready.

[@HarshTekie]

The SSME aren't real. The real ones were kept.

[@shuttlecommander]

No, there’s real ones attached. They’re just retired engines that are no longer safe to use for spaceflight. The ones that are currently being used will be used for the new space launch system or SLS rocket.

[@John-nc4bl]

Why is Endeavour spelled in old English and not spelled in modern English, eg. Endeavor. After all, this Shuttle is an American product and its name should reflect the modern spelling of the word as that is the standard way of spelling since it has been adopted by our nation of America. One of the attributes of progress is to spend less time doing something, so having one less letter to tap on the keyboard saves time. There are many other words in the old English language that would be applicable such as colour, flavour, programme etc. ( color, flavor, program ) The English language is an evolving language with new words being introduced, so hopefully the modern way of spelling some old words will change throughout the world.

[@Amrepdude499]

Because it is named after the HMS Endeavour, an old vessel that was the first ship to ever reach New Zealand. Since its named after a vessel it wouldn’t make sense to change the spelling. All 5 orbiters were named after exploration vessels.

[@John-nc4bl]

Thanks for your reply. I find it strange that the British were not involved with the Shuttle program, yet one of the Shuttles was named after a historic British ship belonging to a foreign island nation. If the historic ship had arrived on an American shore instead of a New Zealand shore, then I can understand a connection with the spelling of the current name. @@Amrepdude499
