Space shuttle Endeavour provides 'once-in-a-lifetime' moment above Bay Area skies



We climbed onto rooftops and hilltops, streamed out of houses and office buildings, pulled over our cars and gathered by the tens of thousands Friday, from the state Capitol to the Golden Gate Bridge to Disneyland, all to witness the historic final flight of the retired space shuttle Endeavour.
And we raised our cameras to capture an Instagram for the ages.
In a giant undulating farewell wave stretching from Sacramento to Los Angeles, spectators raised their hands in applause, their voices in cheers and their phones and cameras to capture the once-in-a-lifetime spectacle that ends the 30-year shuttle program and relegates the last of the five shuttles to a museum in Los Angeles.
