Peter's right. There it sits at the ASRC. Didn't know it was the first one,
though. I thought it was just a big wind-tunnel model.

After working at the Space and Rocket Center for two years, though,
you can get kinda sick of looking at the thing (esp. before the SRBs were
painted white. They had green stripes for a long time.) It was great 
as far as getting irritating Space Campers off your back - telling them to
go to the base of the thing and wait in line for the shuttle rides :)
