Check Out Time-Lapse Video of the Space Shuttle Being Prepped for Its Final Launch

The final Space Shuttle launch is set for either today or Sunday, depending on the weather in Cape Canaveral. You've probably seen video of launches before, but MSNBC has a time-lapse video of the four days LEADING UP to the launch. It shows the Space Shuttle Atlantis being checked out in its processing hanger, and towed to another building where they tilt it up on its end, then attach the fuel tank and the rocket boosters. Then they transport the whole thing to the launch pad while it's standing up.
