Space shuttle ready for new mission in California

The Space Shuttle Endeavour, which took astronauts into orbit 25 times, is on display at the California Science Center. The orbiter, built to replace the ill-fated Challenger which exploded in 1986, stands as the centerpiece of a new exhibition that will open in November at the Los Angeles institution. "It's large, it's very complicated, but we wanted people to understand," Kenneth E. Phillips, a curator at the California Science Center, tells AFP.

00:33is what results. It's large, it's very complicated, but we wanted people to understand this is an
00:39opportunity to see it very up close and personal.
01:10You have a fantastic smile.
01:41And so it's an invitation for people to come and join that effort.
01:45And it's also an effort to convince people that they can't understand this.
01:50It's not too difficult to understand.
01:53Some people think of it as something that is not very accessible to them.
01:56But perhaps that's because they haven't tried it.
01:59And so our encouragement to them is to come to the California Science Center, get up close
02:06and personal to this thing, learn from the experiences that we have created that supported
