Thanks for the link Mike, it's pretty amazing to see all the background work that goes into getting the grand old girl up into space.

Thanks Mike, some great shots well worth a look.

One of my regrets (so far) never seeing a live launch of the shuttle or any space hardware.

Those are great pics Mike they sort of take us through some of the more technical stuff reagarding makeing this bird fly


On a more personal note merry x-mass to you and your family
The wonderfull resource that IIS has developed into is a real credit to the
many people who make it all work.

cheers guys

And if you all need to lose a little extra x-mass leftover cash .. flip a little here
A few $ from everyone will keep things ticking over .

Thanks for posting Mike,

Underlines just how determined and ingenious humanity can be in overcoming the seemingly impossible and achieving the improbable.

In these days of such stunning technical achievement I think we take so much for granted. Images such as these provide perspective of what is involved in something that, to the general public has probably become quite mundane.

Trevor
