Yup, that's Endeavor riding piggy back on top of a 747 on its way around the Southland before landing at LAX. I think I upset Destructo Boy a little when I grabbed him away from his lunch to go run outside to look for it since it just passed by Disneyland and I knew it was on its way to flyover us. Our neighbor and I chatted for a minute before whe burst out "There it is!" and we ended up running out in the middle of our residential street to get a nice unobstructed view. It was amazingly close, following a street only 3 blocks away from us.
I am so sad to see the end of this incredible period of space history and hope the government pulls its act together so they can get us to the moon again and even farther away, but what a way to inspire all the youngsters who were lucky enough to get a view of this amazing sight today! I can't wait to take the kids to the California ScienCenter to go see it even closer in a few months!
