NASA Social Tour of the Vehicle Assembly Building VAB - Pre Orion and SLS | TIS176 - a podcast by Alex G. Orphanos, Science Communicator

Here is another installment from the NASA social event we went to last week for the SpaceX CRS-19 Launch. This week, we have a very special tour of the VAB, or Vehicle Assembly Building in Florida. We had the best tour guide we could ever hope for, Greg Hale, who worked at the VAB during the Space Shuttle Era and had so much knowledge and stories to share that even if you are just listening I think you'll get A TON from it.

I was completely baffled and honestly speechless at the VAB. The sheer magnitude of the building which was created to assemble some of the most important space technologies of all time - Saturn V and Space Shuttle. And soon to be the Space Launch System. Quite an episode. Hope you enjoy! I know I did. 

Such an amazing opportunity - thanks NASA Social!
