That's beautiful! I like how the shuttle is mounted slightly nose-high. I imagine that would help the shuttle generate some of its own lift.

That's how they move the shuttle around. Bolt it to a 747 and take off.

I cant help but respond to this. Yeah they landed on the back of that 747 to take on fuel.

It was a valid question--many aren't familiar with how shuttles are transported.
