Space shuttle Endeavour stands tall and proud on Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. First motion of Endeavour's rollout from the Vehicle Assembly Building was at 11:57 p.m. EDT April 16. Surrounding the pad (seen left and right) are the new lightning towers erected for NASA's Constellation Program, which will use the pad for Ares rocket launches. Endeavour will be prepared on the pad for liftoff in the unlikely event that a rescue mission is necessary following space shuttle Atlantis' launch on the STS-125 mission to service NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
