I'm not sure how to put the KSC live video feed up on here, but I just looked at it and there is now an SRB nose cone in the VAB transfer aisle, just within the past half-hour!!!

I think the segment has actually been lifted, since the camera is panned up toward the ceiling of the VAB.

Left SRB FWD skirt and frustum.

It's being put in those circular things (not a very precise name, eh ) before being lifted!

Jim, it looks like the crane is attached to it so it should be lifted anytime, correct?

It is suspended in the picture

You mean the nose cone is just dangling from the crane in the picture?

I just looked at the live video feed again and I see they are now lifting it!
BTW, could someone tell me how they actually put the picture from the live video feed in their posts on this sight?

When you are replying there is an add picture check box at the bottom of the reply box, check it and when you hit submit it will ask where to grab the file from you wish to post. There is a file size limitation so keep that in mind
Of course this is after saving the image to your system as Jim said

So, being the nose cone for the right booster was lifted last night and the left one tonight, that means there is now a shuttle on the pad, and ( almost ) two fully-assembled SRBs in the VAB! What an exciting time for Shuttle buffs!!!

About time... don't know about you folks, but I am in need for a sts mission fix...
Now, I was so sure that there would be a slip in the program, I booked some vacation time... I will not be able to follow things live... 
.. will be on the trent-severn, all 45 locks of it..

And don't forget the ET-118.

Yes indeed, Great time for shuttle buffs. How much longer before ET - SRB attach and Orbiter rollover to the VAB ? If that stuff is done during the mission I am going to have to just be out of touch with the outside world

According to http://spaceflightnow.com/shuttle/sts121/fdf/calendar.html these are the dates:
06/29/06: ET/SRB mating
07/25/06: Atlantis/external tank mating in VAB
08/01/06: Shuttle stack rollout to launch pad
So probably no highlight there during STS-121
.. will be on the trent-severn, all 45 locks of it..
