Like the little kid said at the end of the movie, "The Incredibles,"

"That was totally WICKED!!!"

Thanks all. I guess I'm not the only gadget geek here.

One thing that I had no idea about is the way they assemble the srb's and fuel tank first, then hoist the shuttle up by her nose with what must be one badd azz winch, and attach it to the booster assembly.

VERY VERY COOL AND IMPRESSIVE!!

I've always wondered what the process was like to get that entire rig upright and onto the launch pad.

Thanx for taking the time to share my friend.
