Michoud Builder of Shuttle's External Tank

In this episode of NASA Behind the Scenes, astronaut Mike Massimino takes you on a tour of the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, La. This historic facility helped build the mighty Saturn V rockets in the 1960s and has built the space shuttle's external tank for the last 30 years. See how -- even advanced as shuttles are -- it still takes human hands and small tools to create this important piece of hardware.
