Like I said, when I get back from vacation, I really plan on filling this thread out with all sorts of space stuff.
That reminds me, Space Shuttle Enterprise's exhibit opens tomorrow.

Story I got was complex was shut down in part due to contractor who built it fudged all the x-rays for the propellant lines and had to be cut apart, that and what you mentioned.
Always watched the shuttle land at Edwards AFB, that is until the brakes were upgraded to land back at the Cape. Always wanted to see it launch but never got the chance.
*Edit* Also west coast launch's are more for polar orbits

I wonder why they haven't modified the launch pad yet..
One thing that VAFB will always have, is the honor of being the first landing site of the Space Shuttle.
