The article commemorates the 50th anniversary of the last Saturn rocket's rollout from NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building to launchpad 39B at Kennedy Space Center. The Saturn IB, a key vehicle in the Apollo program, facilitated nine manned Moon missions and the Skylab launch. It marked the final Saturn rocket rollout before the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. Today, the historic VAB remains operational, currently hosting NASA's Space Launch System, demonstrating its ongoing significance in pioneering efforts in space exploration.
The rollout of the last Saturn IB in March 1975 marked a significant milestone for NASA, showcasing a legacy of innovative human spaceflight achievements.
NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building, completed in 1966, has been central to many historic launches, including the Saturn IB and the Space Launch System.
