Timelapse: the last shuttle main engines are installed

[saints093]

I was wondering if one of the shuttles coud be re-readied for a launch in case something were to go wrong on the ISS, to where the crew up on the ISS would possibly have to be carried back to Earth, and maybe one of the shuttles could be launched to the ISS to rescue the crew up there. :)

How long is this time lapse taken over?

That guy sitting on the engine reminds me of Slim Pickens riding the bomb in "Dr. Strangelove". He also looks like he's having too much fun! ;)

Best part starts at 1:43! Seriously, 56 views? Sigh.

Love it, especially the camera going for a ride on the second gantry. Very cool!
