TL;DR

NASA's retired Space Shuttle Endeavour has been carefully lifted onto a 20-story-tall vertical display, creating the appearance of being ready for launch for the first time in over a decade. This marks the first time such a stacking process has been done outside of a NASA facility. The iconic orbiter is the centerpiece of the future Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, with construction expected to continue for another 18 months to accommodate around 100 more spacecraft displays.
