Very cool! That is so impressive how they move that thing around.

I always wondered how they mounted the shuttle to the tank.

The "roadway" they use to transport the shuttle is something like 8-feet thick.

It's really impressive to see it in person.
I live a few miles from KSC, you're always welcome to visit. :beer:

Elmer's Glue --- 1,200 gallons. ;)

There sure is a boatload of people wandering around on foot and in cars as they are moving it. :rolleyes:

If they don't change the launch date for STS-134 for 2/26/11 I'll be down there. My g/f works for NASA. :cool:

Cool vid!

Here's a one I just found showing the trip into space from the solid rocket boosters point of view. http://www.wimp.com/rocketbooster/

They come off around 1:55 into the vid.

Now that is one hell of a lift. You should watch the History Channels Moder Marvels when they do their segment on doors. It takes something like 45 minutes to an hour just to open the doors. Hauling that thing takes something like 1 to 2 hours.
