They are getting ready for the Ares I-X launch next year, and are on a very tight schedule to reconfigure the pad. Notice the partially constructed lightning towers that will protect the new taller rockets from strikes. Can't wait for them to get a newer, cheaper, safer (etc) vehicle for our astronauts to use. Boy what a shame to see the ol' Shuttle go, however.
