• Nice images. And now we've got the STS-125 stack, the build-up of the STS-401/119 stack, and STS-126 on the pad. Rollback is bad, but there's still a huge amount going on!

  Let me turn around at my desk and look out my window.  Gee, what to I see?  But a shuttle returning from the pad
  

  
  Hey Jim - if you don't wanna get closer, how about getting hold of a better camera!
  
  Nice

• Just two of the hundred photos I took at KSC today. LC-39 Observation Gantry was closed.  These are from the Apollo/Saturn V Facility about 1.6 miles from VAB.  Back to Wisconsin tomorrow.

  Just FYI, the "little" building to the left of the VAB is the RPSF. It's closer to you than the VAB but the perspective makes it look beside the VAB.

  (per L2, processing latest for Atlantis and the ET-127 damage).
  

  
  At least it happened now, and not a week before launch. Excellent turnaround of the information. I see you had Monday processing information on an article that was published about 9am EDT!

  Any info on delay? Is it worth a visit to KSC??
  

  
  Was moved back seven hours, last week. I'd be in the car by now if I was you
  
  
  

  
  Thanks for the nudge Chris. Nailed it. Capped off the trip nicely

• Nice one mate! The cool thing is you've now, officially, been closer to Atlantis than a hell of a lot of us ever will get.
