Recently I visited MLP#2, resting on it's mounts near the VAB. It had launched Columbia a few weeks beforehand and was undergoing the sandblasting and reconditioning required after each launch. All things considered, the MLP's look pretty good to be nearly 35 years old.Thanks to Lisa and Tina of NASA PAO for arranging my visit.
