Los Angeles (CNN) -- Calling Houston. Space shuttle Endeavour is navigating La La Land.
The retired shuttle is being wheeled through Southern California's infamous roads and highways to its final resting place: the California Science Center.
The slow trek, which started early Friday from Los Angeles International Airport, will take about two days.
Officials for months planned the logistics of the urban splashdown: 12 miles of twists and turns through the Los Angeles and Inglewood street network. The removal of utility lines and streetlights and the controversial felling of some trees have made the journey possible.
Authorities hope Endeavour gets to the center, as one police commander said, "in one piece," and they want to make sure there's no damage along the way.
