Discovery roll-out and mating!
This past week has been pretty exciting for those of us here at NASA who are working on getting ready for the next Shuttle Mission. The lead Flight Director forwarded some pictures to us of the very important work that happened at Kennedy Space Center the last few days. Space Shuttle Discovery was rolled out from the Orbiter Processessing Facility (OPF) to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) and was mated to the External Tank (ET) and Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs). Here are some of the pics!

For $1.3 BILLION per launch you would think they would buff it out so it looked shiny on the launch pad...

Yeah, I was waiting for that comment. Most of us here were pretty surprised to see how dirty she looked. Looks like she re-entered yesterday!

That's pretty sweet!
Why is it dirty? Space isn't full of dirt is it?
They say nature abhors a vacuum! yuk,yuk yuk :)
Oh man, you guys are hilarious! Yes, anonymous, Space is very dirty. There are people who's careers center completely around tracking space dirt.
Wow, those dirt tracer people are really at the bottom of the totam pole aren't they.
where can I sign up to be a space dirt tracer?
