Vincent,

Thanks for posting the 1988 pics on the front page! I remember the External Tank being a stop on the Marshall Tour in 1987. When they needed an ET for the Pathfinder in the Shuttle Park, I thought they took the one from tour. These pictures say otherwise! In the same hangar as the ET were the upper and lower SRB portions that I am told did go on the Pathfinder.

I don't remember there being any kind of orbiter mockup at that stop with the ET. Might not have been there in '87.

Also neat to see the Titan missile in front of the Saturn V and looking not-so-neglected. I remember it being stashed on the other side of the Saturn V and in very bad shape the last time I seen it.
