...what it felt like to fly Endeavour? (with Chris Ferguson)
The Science Center has proudly displayed Space Shuttle Endeavour to our guests for the past ten years. Seeing the shuttle is amazing, but\u2026
Do you ever wonder what it felt like to fly Endeavour?
We talked to Chris Ferguson (@Astro_Ferg), a former Navy pilot and NASA astronaut who flew on three space shuttle missions, including one as commander of Endeavour\xa0in 2008. He shares a vivid play-by-play of what he saw out the window while landing at Edwards Air Force Base in southern California. By the way, my favorite part of his story is how the shuttle\u2019s double sonic boom was heard across LA County, surprising some sleepy residents on an early Sunday morning!
It\u2019s always a treat to talk to astronauts, especially one who\u2019s flown on Endeavour. So, join us as we hear from one of the most experienced and accomplished space shuttle commanders, Chris Ferguson.
