But moving the shuttle — which measures 57 feet tall at the tip of the tail and has a wingspan of 78 feet — will be no easy task, Rudolph said. Trees will be pruned back or taken out. Power lines will be raised. Traffic signals will be removed.
At its top speed, the transporters carrying the shuttle will travel about 2 mph along the city streets. At some points along the route, Endeavour will have less than a foot of clearance on either side and will creep even slower, Rudolph said.
