The Largest Doors in the World
By Linda Tancs
The Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida is a massive building designed to assemble large, pre-manufactured space vehicle components. In fact, its interior space is capable of fitting over three Empire State buildings in it. The high-bay doors are the largest in the world (at 456 feet) and take about 45 minutes to completely open or close. From time to time NASA offers “up close” tours that include the VAB; check their website or call for opportunities.
