A space shuttle liftoff is an awe-inspiring sight -- but the journey doesn't begin on the launch pad. Every mission begins with a carefully choreographed road trip known as 'rollout,' in which the fully assembled space shuttle and its mobile launcher platform are transported from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the seaside launch pad -- a journey of more than three miles.
