SoCal gets a Space Shuttle, and a parade!

Out of curiosity, who is paying for that?

I know it is unsentimental of me (and irrelevant since it doesn't touch on me in any way), but it seems to me they should just cut it into pieces and rebuild it on site.

Just a guess, but I'd expect the funds would come from the California Science Center which is actively seeking donations from the public to help offset the cost of bringing the shuttle to California.

It's getting closer! Endeavour departs Florida Monday at about 7 a.m.

And it true California style, towing Space Shuttle Endeavour through the streets of LA has been turned into a commercial.

Do try and get out to see it flyover if you have any chance at all. It's a great sight to see. (ahh, but note it's not coming straight to LA)
