Space shuttle Endeavour exhibit gains two flight-worthy solid rocket boosters
I didn't realize there were flight worthy Shuttle SRB's left, I'd thought everything had been repurposed for SLS by now (i.e. steel cases). What were the showstoppers preventing that set of boosters plus ET-94 from being used for an STS-136? (Presumably with Endeavour?)In any case I am going to LA and will pay another visit to Endeavour when this exhibit opens (2018? 2019?).
The booster cases that Orbital ATK is giving to the California Science Center have flown on 74 space shuttle flights and have been part of 32 ground tests. One case is new.
