KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - The relative diminutive size of a vehicle and workers alongside the crawler-transporter reveal the immensity of the mobile launcher platform-Space Shuttle Atlantis stack above. The crawler is 20 feet tall; the platform is 25 feet high. The shuttle is returning to Launch Pad 39B, in the background, after rolling back to the Vehicle Assembly Building due to concerns about the impact of Tropical Storm Ernesto. However, before reaching the VAB, the forecast of lesser winds expected from Ernesto and its projected direction convinced Launch Integration Manager LeRoy Cain and Shuttle Launch Director Mike Leinbach to return the shuttle to the launch pad.
