Yesterday, the Space Shuttle Endeavour (piggy backed on a NASA jet plane) spent it's final hour in flight, before being retired here in Los Angeles, by touring the city overhead.
It zig-zagged across town at an amazingly low altitude, letting everyone in the city, no matter where they were, catch a glimpse of and share in the moment of it's arrival.
I'll never forget seeing it just appear behind a group of trees on the horizon at work. I was caught off guard at how emotional I became seeing it. I'm still riding the high.
Here's a video that my brother Ted took from where he was at the time. Minus several trees, it's almost exactly what I saw.
