How's this for a truly awesome photo? Shown in the foreground is Space Shuttle
Atlantis on Launch Pad A. The shuttle in the background is
Endeavour, on Launch Pad B. Currently, both shuttles are locked and loaded for launch, should something go wrong up in space with the October 11
Atlantis mission. As Tom explains over at his
Astronomy Blog, having two shuttles on the pad at the same time is rare, but it is not a cause for concern.
