This week's ride is a combination of two others. Sunday is the anniversary of the Challenger disaster in 1986, so we will be visiting Little Tokyo to see the monument to Ellison Onizuka. Then we will ride down to the science museum to see how they are coming along with building the new Oschin Space Center. MY understanding is that they have to two solid-rocket motors mounted upright, along with the external fuel tank. And they have moved the actual Space Shuttle out of its old building, so it should be sitting outside, shrink-wrapped like a giant frozen burrito.After that, we will ride over to Larchmont for bagels at Noah's.
