## Caption

#ThrowbackThursday to January 1965 (top) when the Vehicle Assembly Building, or VAB, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida was still under construction – and 50 years later, an image showing the national landmark as seen from across the turn basin standing strong and long complete. 
The VAB is a central element of NASA’s plans to launch people, science and equipment on exploration missions into deep space. It remains the only building to assemble a rocket that carried humans to the surface of another world. 
That's a pretty amazing fact. Want more VAB fun facts? Check out this Infographic: http://1.usa.gov/1JcTKdW
