The "Inspiration" is a mockup Space Shuttle located in Downey, California, on the site where the Shuttle's crew compartment and aft fuselage were built. In 1972, Rockwell North American built this mockup of the proposed Space Shuttle Orbiter to present to NASA. Once the contract was awarded, the mockup was used to finalize the dimensions and the layout of the orbiter and its components. The "Inspiration" got the Shuttle project started, and was the final step before construction of the first orbiter, the Enterprise. Long abandoned inside a warehouse after the Downey plant closed in 1999, "Inspiration" was saved during the site's 2012 demolition, and placed temporarily in a tent next to the Columbia Memorial Space Science Learning Center on site. It went on public view for the first time ever, and was given the name "Inspiration" by Downey City Council.
