Endeavour should arrive at the Los Angeles International Airport on Friday for unloading. A day-and-a-half procession through city streets is planned for Oct. 12 and 13 to reach the California Science Center. She will go on public display at the pavilion built in Exposition Park on Oct. 30. (Spaceflightnow.com)
When seated on top of a 747, you notice how small the Shuttle actually is.

Kan je een mooi ritje mee maken
Small? I used tho think so as well, until I saw pics with people next to it, years ago – here's a more recent series: http://framework.latimes.com/2012/09/12/space-shuttle-endeavour/#/0
No, what you see is that Boeing 747´s are huge.
+Jacques J.J. Soudan compared to a 747 it seems small. I've seen it IRL as well and it does seem big. But that is relative
Sure – every size is relative
However, it is much bulkier than you would expect (it being lifted off into space). No matter what, end of an era – and kinda bizar that Nasa has no successor – now relying on Russians and commercial rockets.
Compared to the Universe it once had the ambition to rub against, it is indeed tiny.
