Yes, you can walk all around and underneath it. What I found really interesting is that all the weight of the front end comes down to one little point about 2" in diameter under the nose.

This picture doesn't really do it justice. The robot is probably about 5 feet from the camera, and the shuttle is probably 40 feet behind the robot. The robot is tiny in comparison to the shuttle. Also, it's near impossible to get the entire shuttle in a single frame on camera in the building it's in, without a special lens.
