I meant to post this sooner, but what with the wedding and all, I never got around to it until now.
Don't know if you all realized this, but for the upcoming Space Shuttle flight to Hubble, STS-125 (now moved to 2009), there needs to be a back-up shuttle on the pad ready to launch in case the crew of the Hubble mission needs rescuing. This contingency flight has a crew trained and a flight plan already in place, and is called STS-400. Because of this, when STS-125 was being readied at the Pad for lift-off, STS-400 was rolled out as well, making for a great scene of two shuttles on the pad at the same time. Here are a few that were passed around the office.
Enjoy these for now, and look for more pictures in 2009 when the Hubble mission rolls out again, hopefully to launch this time.

The pictures are beautiful. When the weather is clear and the sky is blue you can just imagine them lifting off. What a sight that would be. Maybe you can get to Fls for one of the launches?
