Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) Dr. Kurt H. Debus, KSC's first director, was a major speaker at the ceremonies 'topping off' the Vehicle Assembly Building on April 14, 1965. A crawler-transporter is at the right. At the time of its completion, the 129 million cubic foot structure was the largest building in the world. Originally designed and built to accommodate the Saturn V/Apollo used in Project Apollo, the VAB was later modified for its role in the Space Shuttle program.
