SOLID ROCKET BOOSTER TAKES FIRST STEPS IN STACKING FOR RETURN TO FLIGHT

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - With a Security escort, the first Solid Rocket
Booster (SRB) aft skirt for mission STS-114 nears the Vehicle Assembly
Building on its transfer to the Rotation Processing and Surge Facility for
stacking. At the facility, an aft motor segment and an external tank attach
ring will be installed. The stack will then be moved to the Vehicle Assembly
Building for further build-up. This is the first transfer of a large piece
of hardware from the SRB division to the Ground Operations division, a
significant milestone in the march to Return to Flight.

Had they taken that picture a second later I'd be able to see my car parked
out front.
A payload canister has gone by twice as well.
