Yea, how much dose it weight?  Quite impressive how they can lift it so high, move it and lower, with precision, onto the mail flue tank.

Wow, I knew NASA takes care of his toys very much but not with so many people! Would be so great to be part of this.

BTW, anyone plays this simulator called "Orbiter"?

Very cool video, especially the end with the launch.

It's really sad that shortly here when the shuttles retire NASA will no longer be in the business of launching humans into space, and for the foreseeable future they have no plans to get back into it, I really wish they wouldn't of canceled the Constellation program, with that they were planning a return trip to the Moon & a trip to Mars.

Just don't be deceived by the low level of texture detail down on the ground on any planet. When you are in orbit, everything looks sharp and even sharper with add-ons. The original main directory is around 200mo... I have downloaded so much that its now 3000mo... Much like AcesHigh. Check out the DGIV, has the most realistic cockpit and crew management.

I'm done talking about this on this tread though.. Hijack Alert  :eek:
