All the engineering behind the Endeavour Shuttle's 26th and final mission.

Endeavour’s 26th mission was a lot slower and a lot shorter than the previous 25, but it was still full of fascinating engineering challenges. This October marks the 10-year anniversary of the nearly 3-day trip, so let’s reminisce on this incredible feat and dive into what it took to get the orbiter safely to its final home.

13:04 "With an average speed of 2 miles or 3 kilometers per hour, on par with the rest of LA traffic..." Man, I never expected a burn this big in a engineering channel, I loved all the engineering parts but I can't ignore this, it's too good.

Just imagine cruising down the 405 and then see the Shuttle crossing on an overpass. What a wild view

Saw this in person, lots of crowds showed up at various points along the trip to watch it go. I didn't even realize you could un-bolt and move traffic lights out of the way temporarily until i saw them do it in person.

My kids were in elementary school right across the street from one of the stops during this journey. It was an amazing day for all of the kids and parents. The school had field trips across the street to visit the shuttle. Not sure how much instruction happened that day, but I remember we had weeks of conversations about space, engineering, and other related subjects following the experience. Definitely one of those days that lives strongly in your memory and will for the rest of your life. Thanks for revisiting this trip, Grady!

That shot of it docked to the ISS always get me. Such an amazing vehicle.

I worked several Space Shuttle Missions in Houston as a back room flight controller. The planning efforts that went into those missions were Herculean. Some great memories, and some painful ones, too. Houston didn’t get a real orbiter, but got the SCA. The trip to move that from Ellington field to Space Center Houston was another amazing project.

As a space nerd, this is probably my favorite episode! The last ones were the ISS tracker and yoyo despin. Pls do more vids on space topics. I'd love to know more about launchpad structures and the iconic VAB

I’m not sure why this video made me cry but it’s just nice to see something this complex and historic be accomplished.

Being born in the 70s, the space shuttle was a big part of my childhood and the crash of the challenger was devastating. It’s really good that they are honoring this shuttle.

Great video as always! I have to admit it was a little emotional for me. I've loved the Space Shuttle since I was a small kid in the 80's and wanted to be an Astronaut because of it. It's great to see there being retired and people can still see them. FYI, I didn't become an Astronaut, but it did lead me down a road of Engineering and Science.

Man, I’m not sure what about it did it but it brought tears to my eyes. I love the promise of space, and it makes me so happy to see people honoring it!

Most amazingly, in the time stop video there appeared to not be any accidents on the 405 as a shuttle passed slowly on an overhead bridge across the road. Surprised no one lost focus.

Thank you for mentioning the trees. As an Angeleno, I remember the move and how cool it was, but also that the trees, 10 years later, weren't even close and most weren't replaced. I hate a ficus as much as the next guy, but it's still a shade equity crime.

I was able to see Discovery when it landed at Dulles Airport for final display in the Air and Space Museum. Fortunately for Discovery, the museum has a taxiway from the airport. There was a period of time where Discovery was nose to nose with Enterprise, before Enterprise was moved to the Intrepid in NYC.

I went to LA in 2014 and went to see Endeavour, it was such an emotional and humbling experience. I'll never forget it.

The logistics of this move were insane. If you know the area from LAX to the Science Center, it would seem impossible. Kudos to them all and thank you for a great video.

This is giving me big nostalgia vibes. As a teen I convinced my mom to drive us down to see Endeavor land @ LAX, it's final landing. Beautiful

I saw endeavor fly attached to a 747 over the capital in Sacramento, it's a lot bigger than you think, made my dad cry, lots of people gathered to see it I even got the video of it somewhere.

As a Belgian, I'm proud by association that local (10 miles from my house) contractor Sarens (with its cranes and SPMTs in that typical blue color) got to do the project. I've seen them in action in my area several times, for lifting things to the top of high buildings and moving bridges into place.
