Height incorrectly stated as Width (in Infobox)

The height of the orbiter (17.86 m) is incorrectly shown as its width. I tried editing to change 'Width' to 'Height', but the entry just disappears when I preview. Can somebody with more experience (and an account) check and fix that please?

Replica Orbiters

There is also a full size replica of the left half of Endeavour at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas. I think it would be worth adding it to the list of replicas.

Here is an article from the Cosmosphere that mentions this: https://cosmo.org/blog/view/the-final-launch-of-the-space-shuttle-endeavour Rmcmullin (talk) 21:55, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's surprisingly another missing replica. It goes by the name Ambassador and was at the KSC until the late 90s when it became a traveling exhibit. No clue what happened to it afterwards, but there are some photos still around.
