Webcam links:

http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/countdown/video/video.html  - More variety, includes NASA TV screencaps, as well as pad processing, and much more.

http://webcams.ksc.nasa.gov/ImgCap/default.htm  - Tend to have good webcams once in a while, have been real funky lately, though.

There are no webcams up that have the VAB in them, unless I'm blind..  We'll have to wait until 6:30 AM EDT to see live shots of her, unless they change between now and then!  I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Thanks for that Chris, was looking for that photo angle. Since I joined L2, I have nothing but gold stars for the content and contributors. Great work.

What I would do to look down from inside the VAB to see an orbiter stack.
