The Space Shuttle project was one of NASA's most iconic post Moon Landing efforts. Over their lifespans, five different shuttles were involved in a total of 135 space flights. Astronauts travelling in Space Shuttles assisted in major projects such as the construction of the International Space Station, Spacelab and Mir. However, there were also problems over the course of their operations, most significantly the destruction of Columbia and Challenger. Those two accidents resulted in the deaths of 14 astronauts altogether.

Experts provided a variety of responses to the Space Shuttle programme. Critics called it expensive, unsafe and a step back from the previous Apollo efforts. Others praised the huge technological advances as a result of their complex design and operations. NASA themselves made the most out of the expensive project: the length and scope of the project were expanded numerous times.

The Space Shuttle programme was finally decommissioned in 2011 following the final flight of Atlantis, twenty years after the first flight of Columbia. The surviving Shuttles - and the experimental model Enterprise - were all sent to museums for display.

366 days ago, the Endeavour arrived in the California Science Center following a painstaking four-day long journey through the streets of Los Angeles. To mark the anniversary of the epic trip, Time have released a stunning timelapse video of that journey. With a vast majority of NASA currently furloughed as a result of the US Government shutdown, it's a powerful reminder of one of their most significant achievements.
