Going to other worlds? Start here. ☝️ The Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) has always been iconic. Located in NASAKennedy, it was originally constructed in 1966 for the assembly of the Apollo/Saturn V Moon rocket. It's the only facility that assembled a rocket that carried humans beyond low-Earth orbit and on to the Moon. The world’s most powerful rocket, NASAArtemis’s Space Launch System, requires the world’s largest doors to match. At 456 feet high, the doors take about 45 minutes to completely open and close. There are five overhead cranes inside the VAB, including two that can hold 325 tons. These are critical to picking up the heaviest elements of rockets, while precise enough to lower an object onto an egg without cracking it. Fusing what has worked in the past with modern needs is the key goal of the world’s most famous landmark of space exploration as it evolves for future missions to worlds beyond.
