Crowds gathered along the streets of Downey on Thursday to catch sight of a full-size original space shuttle prototype named the “Inspiration” being transported. The model was built in 1972 as part of Rockwell International's bid to build NASA's space shuttles.
The life-size model is being moved to a renovation facility ahead of its final location in a new exhibit hall at the Columbia Memorial Space Center.
