Real thing, not refueling By TheOneArmedMan @ 10:05 PM August 20 2009 [Reply] This is an actual picture, the shuttle is not refueling, it is on an aerodynamics test. Nooo! By TheOneArmedMan @ 08:02 PM May 29 2010 [Reply] They're jus transporting it from one place to another... If you find it cool you should see the russian spaceship over their massive planes! It would seem like a toy after that. Piggyback By TheOneArmedMan @ 09:32 PM July 6 2010 [Reply] The space shuttles can not fly on their own within the earths atmosphere. They were not built to fly as planes. In fact, they must glide to a landing after re-entry from space. This is a photo of a shuttle being trans[ported "piggyback" by a modified Boing 747, probably to another base for maintenance, repair or refurbishing.
