It took a long time for them to construct this fuel tank, but you can watch it happen in just 60 seconds. The 212-foot tank was constructed at the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans.

It is pretty amazing to see it all come together. And keep in mind that every tiny detail needs to be as precise and perfect as they can make it. If anything is even a tad off, it could blow up.
