what about 121 and 115? and are we here on the site going to be able to see any of it? 
thanks
I've seen an IR still photo from 121, showing the fan-shaped area of increased heating behind the gap filler that NASA chose not to pull. I haven't seen any photos from 115, or video from either flight.

Can you tell me where on the internet that IR still photo from 121 can be viewed?

I don't know - I didn't see it on the internet myself. Chris may have it on L2, but not being an L2 member, I don't know either.

Does anybody know what's going on in the O&C building. It looks like they are dismantling some bay?

They've been dismantling a few of the larger station module support/preparation frames lately.
Might as well start doing it now, I guess. They aren't needed anymore and just sitting there taking up space.

They are removing all the Spacelab stands since it has been shut down and the shuttle will soon. LM will assemble the CEV in there

Not ISS but Spacelab

Will we be able to see the CEV being assembled in the O&C building?
Or just the final preperations for launch?

LM will assemble it in the O&C and it will be prepared for launch in the SSPF

I remember someone once saying the wings on the Shuttle are more a burden than any use during launch, and are only used for landing. Yet on the high speed camera of the launch facing downward, you can see the wings moving. So who is wrong?

The control surfaces are moving to reduce the aero stress on the wings. They are only dead weight and drag on the way up

When the engineers bolt the SRB segments together, how many bolts, around the entire circumference of the segments, have to be inserted and tightened?

They are actually pins and once they are installed, a band, that goes around the whole SRM, restrains them. The # of pins is in the low 140's, either 142 or 144, as I recall.
PS. Technicans do the work and Engineers direct the work.

The doors are kept open before the orbiters leave the OPF (thought they're kept covered/protected until mating with the ET).

The payload bay doors are only opened in the OPR or at the pad and are never opened in the VAB

Thanks Jim!! The band is the very-noticeable black, correct?
P.S. Engineers do analysis and technicians do work, correct?
thanks
