   Not Vehicle, it’s the VERTICAL Assembly Building !
   Yeah, great pics, and yes, looks like that’s where the money goes. That has to be a HUGE investment in resources, time, money effort and cetera. However, since this IS rocket science, I guess those Guys and Gals know what the’re doing. Good stuff !

   Now I see why they want to use as much shuttle tech on the new program as possible. That’s quite an investment and it would be great to re-use the transport systems and fixtures, now that they are paid for!
   Great pics!
