Before a space shuttle launch, several processing steps occur that are rarely seen by the public. The external tank arrives by barge and is lifted vertically in the VAB. Solid rocket boosters and engines are attached to the external tank. Meanwhile, the shuttle is attached to the external tank in the VAB. A payload is prepared and then moved to the launch pad to be inserted into the shuttle. Finally, the fully assembled shuttle and external tank are moved to the launch pad on a crawler where it is ready for launch.

Cloughjordan is a village in North Tipperary, Ireland located along the River Shannon. It has a population of around 783. The village dates back to Norman times and gets its name from a stone brought back from the River Jordan by the first Norman resident. In the late 17th century, the village was further developed by Cromwellian grantee John Harrison, who was granted land in the area and built Cloughjordan House. Today, the village is working on an eco-village project to create a sustainable community on 67 acres of farmland that will merge with the existing village.
The document summarizes the French and Indian War from 1754 to 1763 between Britain and France over control of North America. Key events included the joining of forces by American colonists and the British against their common enemies, the French and Indian forces. While this created unity among the colonies for the first time, it also increased tensions between the colonists and British due to differences in military organization, financing, and discipline. The war ultimately resulted in a British victory with the 1763 Treaty of Paris, but it greatly enlarged Britain's debt and contempt for the colonials, fueling discontent that would contribute to the American Revolution.
The document discusses several topics:
