Space Shuttle Prep

On kottke.org, I recently saw a link to a series of images [bmwsporttouring.com] showing how the space shuttle is prepared for launch. It includes a lot of pictures from the Vertical Assembly Building that I found very interesting.


The link contains about 40 images, starting with the arrival of the external fuel tank, to the attachment of the rocket motors and the shuttle module, through the cargo prep, to the launch. Fascinating.
