Hopefully you’re not sick of me posting about the Space Shuttle yet because I’m only getting started. The above image is a sad one for me. It is of the final External Tank produced for STS-134. It rolled of of the New Orleans assembly line to the tear filled eyes of many workers who are now winding down their jobs on the line, some of which have been there for the 37 years of production.
The tank is now headed to Kennedy Space Center where it will be prepped in the normal fashion for the final launch. Many people from the assembly line can be seen following it to the barge that will transport it to KSC.
