A rare sight indeed.Today in 2012, the people of Los Angeles gathered to watch Space Shuttle Endeavour being towed through the streets of Inglewood, California. It was towed 12 miles from LAX to its new home at @casciencecenter.

40 years ago: Space Shuttle Discovery's debut!#OTD in 1983, NASA's Discovery orbiter was rolled out in Palmdale, CA. Discovery went on to fly more than any other spacecraft to date, serving NASA for 27 years! Read about the rollout: https://go.nasa.gov/3rUURAm
Discovery's debut 📸40 years ago today, Space Shuttle Discovery's rollout ceremony was held at Rockwell International's Palmdale facility. The crew of Discovery's upcoming first mission, STS-41D, were in attendance, along with other officials and dignitaries.
NASA assigns 14 astronauts to 4 'end-of-year flights' (STS-51L, -61C -61D & -61E) OTD in 1985. Named to STS-51L were Dick Scobee, Mike Smith, Judy Resnik & Ellison Onizuka. Brewster Shaw's original 51L crew was reassigned to a yet "unspecified mission", which became STS-61B.

Astro Info Service @aisoffice 3:02 PM · Jan 3, 2025The vertical stabiliser assembly for OV-102 (Columbia) began OTD 1977 at prime contractor Fairchild Republic facility in Farmingdale, Long Island, NY. It would be another year before the unit was on dock (10 Jan 1978) at Rockwell's Palmdale facility for final assembly on OV-102.
NASA History Office @NASAhistory NASA History Office 4:00 PM · May 2, 2025This 1976 painting depicts the Mate-Demate Device (MDD), a structure essential for hoisting a space shuttle orbiter onto the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft for transport across the country. The first MDD was completed at @NASAArmstrong in California in late 1976. Another MDD was located at the Shuttle Landing Facility at @NASAKennedy in Florida.

National Air and Space Museum @airandspaceHave you ever noticed that the American flag sometimes appears to be backward on aircraft, spacecraft, and uniforms? We explore why on the blog: https://s.si.edu/4n1rGTX #FlagDay
Space Shuttle Almanac @ShuttleAlmanacOTD last year! The second time I saw Space Shuttle Enterprise ever. The first in 1983 when it flew over Toronto, Canada on its way home from the Paris Airshow. This time in its revamped pavilion on the Intrepid in NYC - 41 years apart!
