  1.  @MrDengo999  The two were mated together using the aptly named Mate-Demate Device. A large stationary crane. It picked up the shuttle using a special cradle and placed it on special mounts on the 747 that lined up with the external tank attachment points There was one at the Shuttle Landing Facility at KSC. One at Edwards Air Force Base, CA. And much simpler moblie one that was never used at Vandenburg Air Force Base, CA.

  2. Youre not wrong. But everything about the shuttle is designed for micro gravity and to be as light weight as possible. Walking inside it in our 1 G enviroment would cause lots of damage. And would require lots of special equipment and fixtures only NASA has.
