The giant spacecraft began its 2-mph crawl through streets near Los Angeles International Airport at about 2 a.m. Friday. Crowds in the neighborhood lined the streets to watch it being hauled past. Some called it a once-in-a-lifetime sight.
About 400 trees and many traffic lights were taken down to make room for the five-story-tall shuttle with its 78-foot (24-meter) wingspan.
The shuttle's 160-wheeled carrier stopped briefly so that crews could prune more trees.
The shuttle will go 3 miles (5 kilometers) and then stop for nine hours to prepare for a final 9-mile (15-kilometer) roll to the California Science Center.
