Two massive rocket motors began their journey Tuesday from the Mojave Desert to the California Science Center, where they will be part of the vertical display of the retired Space Shuttle Endeavor.
The 116-foot long motors will travel across several Southern California freeways until the last leg of their voyage from the Mojave Air & Space Port.
Most of the action will take place Wednesday morning with the rocket motors set to make their way across the southbound 605 Freeway, west on the 105 Freeway and then finally on the 110 Freeway.Starting around 5 a.m., they'll move onto surface streets. Some time after that, the general public and space enthusiasts alike will be able to get an up-close view.
The arrival of the rockets at the California Science Center will mark 11 years to the day that the Space Shuttle Endeavor began its captivating crosstown journey from LAX to Exposition Park.
