great presentation. I'm sure noone thinks of shuttles as just big planes that go into space, but detailed shots like this give help give a better idea of their intricate construction.

I was there on the base for the launch of STS-120. My first launch in person, I was in awe. I've always had much respect for the space program and those brave men and women who fly into orbit. This is a truly wonderful shot. Thanks for posting it!
