Summary

Description
English: The enormous Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center, and the Launch Umbilical Towers seen here were constructed by NASA for one purpose… to build and launch moonships. In this January 1966 image (restored today from a faded 4"x5" NASA transparency) these structures are brand new, and launch tower #1 is being moved by a crawler transporter to the VAB for erection of a "dummy" Saturn V facilities test vehicle, which will be rolled out to the pad later in the year, but not launched. The space agency had great ambitions for Apollo, with missions originally planned up to Apollo 20, and the VAB was originally designed to house up to four Saturn V's simultaneously.
