| The shuttle was piggy-back shipped to Florida this weekend via a modified 747 aircraft....the photos of that spacecraft sitting on top of a 747 with landing gear down and in position to land is mind blowing...The Boston Globe ran a neat report with some illustrations indicating the connection joints and frame upgrade specifications that I found interesting...now if they can get the fuel tank insulation worked out...
