Rare picture of two...

space shuttles on launch pads simultaneously (click to enlarge.) Atlantis is on pad 39A in the foreground and is being readied to launch on at 10:31 PDT on 12 May to the Hubble Space Telescope for its last servicing mission. Endeavour on pad 39B in the background is standing by as a "rescue" mission if Atlantis suffers damage during launch.
