"The worlds largest building" in the background - the Vehicle Assembly Building. The Saturn
V rockets missed the top of the "doors" by a little more than 1 meter. In the front is one
of the two Crawler Transporters parked. It is used to transport the space shuttles from the
VAB to the launch pads.

Launch pad 39A. Endeavor is made ready to departure April 19th, 2001. It is 'hidden' in the
launchpad in order to access the payload bay under clean room conditions.
