This is the building that they assemble the Shuttle in. They must bring it from a horizontal to a vertical orientation. Then they attach the tanks and rockets to it. They then add the payload. It must be an amazing thing to witness. This building was first built to assemble the apollo rockets. It is so large that it has it's own weather systems inside. It can actually rain inside when it isn't outside. Wierd. | |
This is a mockup of the space shuttle cargo bay. The most amazing thing about the space shuttle is how little room there is inside it. You cannot be claustrophic if you are going to be an astronaut. | |
