I have tried downloading this file from IE explorer and firefox and I can't open the file. Says Power Point can not open this file.

That really is awesome. I never had seen that cool little butt cone they put on the shuttle for it's piggy-back ride. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Also, I really did sort of wonder how they got that thing on top of the airplane. I really didn't figure it was with a big fork truck, but I'd never seen that rigging in the pictures. Cool!

That is kewl, but what is even more kewl is to watch it lift off. The amount of fuel used just to even get it a few feet off the ground. And the water used to keep everything coold during take off.
