The last set of space shuttle main engines is installed in Atlantis in this timelapse video recorded in Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 1 at the Kennedy Space Center.
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. :)
the guy in the green shirt riding atop the yellow engine attachment is in fact an actual relative of Slim Pickens... thats how he got that job.. he's perfect..

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.
