A Rare And Final Sight



Click on the pic to see twin shuttles gracing the pads at the Cape.

One is going to fix Hubble - yay! - and the other is there in the event of a rescue is needed. The sober reality is that if a rescue is needed - Hubble orbits so high and away from the space station that if something goes wrong, there's no quick fix - the shuttle program will be over.

As it is, it's a wonderful sight to behold.
