Jason Torchinsky realized that although it would be difficult to steal the space shuttle Endeavour from Los Angeles, it was not, technically speaking impossible. The heist will just require some creative thinking, a bit of luck and some money. Read his step-by-step plan at the link.

However why would anyone try to steal the endeavour? (especcially if you already have a Buran.... ) It seems easier to get an Energiia than to plot the heist...
If you already have to build a Sub with sufficient cargo hold,it would be cheaper offer the Buran (and the cash for the Sub) to the California Science Center...
Wouldn't it make more sense to compare it to the length of time that a man other than Han, Luke, Obi Wan, Darth Vader, or the Emperor is speaking? I imagine that number would still be pretty significantly larger than 63 seconds, since, as far as I can recall, most of the secondary characters were male.
Heck, we could just compare the two lists of characters with significant roles and see something worth noting:
Female characters with significant roles: Leia
Male characters with significant roles: Han, Luke, Obi Wan, Darth Vader, The Emperor, Lando, Chewie, Jabba...
That's just off the top of my head, and given that I haven't watched those movies in years, I may have missed a few, but I honestly cannot recall another female with a significant role in the entire initial trilogy.
