    Since arriving in Los Angeles 11 1/3 years ago, the space shuttle
    Endeavour has been on temporary display at the California Science
    Center.  Last night, it was lifted into it's full stack position for permanent display.  The crane-assisted take-off lasted several hours,
    most of which was streamed by the CSC.

    The CSC also let NASA Space Flight (NSF) in with a camera.

    The CSC stream starts at about first motion, with several cameras, some
    of which may be cell phones, but also with a drone.  There are captions
    but no commentary or narration.

    The NSF stream starts later, but runs slightly later as well.  The NSF camera is "inside the well" (inside the lower portions of a building to
    be completed).  There's the usual NSF commentary, including Chris Bergin with a bunch of Endeavour photos ... construction, flight, and
    turn-around work.  Also, astronaut Garrett Reisman, whose first flight
    was on Endeavour to the ISS, chats with camera-hostler Jack Beyer.

    Gads, it doesn't seem like 11+ years, but also it seems like another lifetime.


    Thanks for that.
