At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, STS-129 Mission Specialist Mike Foreman, at right, takes his crew and instructor for a ride in an M113 armored personnel carrier during driving practice. Left of Wilmore is the instructor, Battalion Chief George Hoggard.

The M113 is kept at the foot of the launch pad in case an emergency egress from the vicinity of the pad is needed. The crew members of space shuttle Atlantis' STS-129 mission are at Kennedy for training related to their launch dress rehearsal, the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test. Launch of Atlantis on its STS-129 mission to the International Space Station is targeted for Nov. 16.
