An aerial view of part of NASA's Kennedy Space Center giant complex featuring the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) and surrounding area. The Space Shuttle Discovery and its support stack of hardware, just a few days earlier, took the long, slow journey from the VAB atop the crawler/transport vehicle to Launch Pad 39B in preparation for the STS-114 mission. The shuttle can be seen in the distant background, just above right center. This is one of a series of photos shot cross-cockpit from a NASA Gulfstream 2. JSC2005-E-16171
