There are only 3 Space Shuttle Orbiters left. Atlantis is on display at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Endeavour will be on display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles and Discovery is at the Udvar-Hazy Center just outside of Washington DC. While we were in Washington we caught up with Dr. Jennifer Levasseur, the curator of the Space Shuttle Program for the Smithsonian and we tried to find out how you use a Space Shuttle to tell it’s history and inspire the next generation.
