CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In Orbiter Processing Facility-1 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, former NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong left, who in July 1969 became the first man to set foot on the moon as commander of the Apollo 11 mission, views space shuttle Atlantis with Bob Crippen, the first space shuttle pilot. Crippen piloted space shuttle Columbia on STS-1 in April 1981. Atlantis is being prepared for display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and is scheduled to rollover to the complex in November. The visitor complex is targeting a July 2012 grand opening for Atlantis’ new home. Photo credit: NASA/Dimitri Gerondidakis
