If your really interested, and can't get out to the left coast to see this
sucker.  NASA has some terribly beautiful pictures of this guy, bare and in
different stages of being used.  Including the finished mating ready to be 
rolled out.  These pictures are available through the Public information or
affairs office.  I don't have any of the series or reference numbers, sorry.
Last time I was at the KSC Spaceport - junk ware - / - rip off facility  *->
they did have a few of the more major photos for sale as slides & various 
sized prints. (Honestly they weren't priced badly compared to typical tourist
trap deals..., and the quality was very good.)   As I recall, there used to be
several large 24x36 or so prints, picto-graphs, & paintings in the upstairs
display area of this process.
