Huge rocket factory allows mission to Mars
With a volume of 3.7 million m3, NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building rocket factory is one of the largest structures in the world. Right now, NASA is adding 10 sets of platforms which will allow the assembly of the 100+ m high Space Launch System rockets. The first unmanned rocket will be launched in 2018, and according to plan, the rockets will take humans to an asteroid in the next few decades and subsequently to Mars.
