13 years ago today, Space Shuttle Endeavour arrived at ‪@CalScience‬ after a 3-day, 12-mile-long journey from LAX. The Shuttle was greeted by crowds who poured out into the streets to catch a glimpse of Endeavour en route to its new home.


Earlier this year, Lost LA host Nathan Masters visited the California Science Center to learn why it became Endeavour's permanent home, and how the shuttle's legacy continues to inspire Los Angeles and space exploration.

That's a wrap on "Won't You Be My Gamer?" season one! 🎮

From a deep dive into the world of Agatha Christie 🔎 to conversations about sustainability while traversing a Mediterranean Island 🦊 (with stops at a haunted house, pirate ship, prison, and hot air balloon restaurant along the way) we had a fabulous first season.

Thank you to everyone who watched, liked, commented, subscribed, and tuned in to our livestreams. And an extra huge thank you to the 11 guests who took a chance on a new show and joined us to play games and teach us things. We'll be back in mid-summer with new episodes and in the meantime, Nikole will be reading your comments to see what games you'd like us to play. And Elyse will be reading over her shoulder in a not-at-all creepy way. See you again soon!
