'Go for stack': CA Science Center to begin taking space shuttle Endeavour vertical for launchpad-like display [i]It has taken more than a decade of planning, engineering studies and fundraising, but finally, the space shuttle Endeavour is ready to go vertical. The California Science Center, which since 2012 has exhibited the retired NASA orbiter in the horizontal, has set the date for the spacecraft's new launchpad-like display to begin being installed in the new Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center (which is also still under construction). On July 20 — the same day as the 54th anniversary of the first Apollo moon landing, the base pieces for Endeavour's twin solid rocket boosters, the aft skirts, will be hoisted by crane into place.[/i]
