OK campers,

What is this . . . the best I could come up with was a mounting point
on the many-tired trailer you occassionally see being used to move
orbiters around. But, why the note indicated which way goes up? I
mean between all the times its been done and the use of in hand
procedures . . . this seems a little silly.

It's a JOKE! Yes, even aerospace workers have a sense of humor.

The winner gets an "I miss Henry (and Rusty, et al) t-shirt.

Henry is alive and well and posts regularly to the arocket e-mail list. I
know, e-mail lists are antiquated, but they have several advantages. One of
which is you can ban trouble makers very easily, which greatly increases the
signal to noise ratio.

The only way I keep the signal to noise ratio down in the sci.space groups
is a liberal use of a killfile.
