Makes perfect sense to me, thats what I figured but since I have never seen one in person I was not sure, thanks! I am going to have to put this on my bucketlist, they still do shuttle launches like this, right?? I do not follow NASA at all, and barely ever watch the news (to much negativity for me) but I thought I heard rumors a few years ago about no more launches or something?? Maybe that was just for exploratory agendas or something, I have no idea.
Either way, if they still are launching these bad boys, I would love to experience seeing one in person!
