Former NASA astronaut Garrett Reisman chats with Space.com's Chelsea Gohd about Space Shuttle Endeavour's spectacular new home at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Displayed vertically in its full launch configuration, complete with an external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters, Endeavour is the centerpiece of the new Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center.
Reisman, who made his first spaceflight aboard Endeavour in 2008, shares memories of launching into space, recognizes handrails he once held during a spacewalk, and explains what makes the California Science Center's new exhibit so unique. He also discusses how bringing visitors face-to-face with the historic spacecraft could inspire the next generation of astronauts, scientists and engineers.
