  • 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?

  • 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..

  • @zabadak88 lol. surely you realize i was joking. 

  • @iheartdonut yea in 1 hour .... shuttle will probably blown up.. heh

    it need much tension XD

  • SCIENCE!

  • look at those slappywags chit chatting, and taking their sweet time. i would have had them all installed in less than an hour.

  • 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!
