Boeing Media Tour Day 2: Standing beneath Discovery [UPDATED]

[UPDATE: I have a new video at the top from the tour of the orbiter processing facility.]




Set amidst the typical round-the-clock briefings and travel of a corporate media tour, yesterday offered that very rare thing: pleasurable sightseeing! As you can see, the tour inside the Orbiter Processing Facility, where we stood directly beneath the shuttle Discovery, turned our pack of veteran aerospace journalists into awestruck tourists. Boeing employee Albert Fazio is the speaker.

Here we are inside NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building as Fazio explains how the massive facility will adjust to the Ares rocket program.
