    Here are a couple of pictures I received in an email that I'd like to share.

    BTW, the first picture is a 4mb hi-res if anyone's interested.

    "This is a historical event to have both shuttles (Endeavour and Atlantis) on the launch pads at the same time. One is set up as a rescue mission for the other for the repair mission of the Hubble This will be the last time you ever see something like this again."

    cool pic. ballsy to do this smack in the middle of hurricane season.

    if/when we scrap the space program (at least as it exists today) that facility would make a great racetrack.
