I'm glad to see that many people are enjoying the post. How did you find out it was linked to stumbleupon? I never heard of that site before.

Loved the pictures Perry. Do you mind if I send copies of the pictures to a freind ?
Thanks

Not at all. Thanks for asking. I posted the pics as I get to see these pictures quite often as I build hardware for the shuttle and space station.

For those that have emailed me from the other sites that linked to this post, I appreciate the 'thanks' given. I do work for EADS also.

Thanks for the info about the stumbleupon linking. I never saw anything like that.

I must say I am shocked by the view counter. I hope that Leslie and Jamie don't mind

Stumbleupon suggests what you might like based on what others with same interest seemed to like. It's a nice tool that brings me to places I would never find on my own. (like this one)

It will be interesting to see if we get a surge of new members in the next few days/weeks

Nice set of pictures. Here's a bunch of corrections:

"Solid Rockets Are Attached". Actually it's the other way around. The SRBs are the very first thing that are stacked on the MLP. The ET is dropped between the fully stacked (and fueled!) SRBs.

"Engines are Attached to Solids". No, the SRBs are fully assembled long before the ET reaches Florida. See here: http://www.space.com/imageoftheday/image_of_day_031118.html

"Engines are Attached to the Shuttle in the Shuttle Processing Facility". Actually it's called the "Orbiter Processing Facility".

"New Module for ISS". Actually that's the Leonardo MPLM which is not new. It has been to ISS many times before. It's just a packing container that is brought back and forth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-Purpose_Logistics_Module

"Payload Ready to be moved to the Launch Pad". Nope, that's the shuttle at the launch pad. See the yellow ribs on the outside of the doors? Those are the strongbacks attached to the payload bay doors to prevent them from warping. This photo (and the following one) should be moved way down the page.

The untitled photo of the shuttle next to the sunset is also out of sequence, it is on the crawler nowhere near the launch pad. Needs to be moved three photos up. In its place should be the earlier two payload photos showing the yellow strongbacks.

I'll send your comments to the folks at KSC since they are the people sent me a .pps file, and I put the individual pictures here for others to see.

If you want to post your email addy, I'll forward you their comments
