A few interesting fact about the VAB:

Each stripe on the flag is 9ft wide (as big as the tour buses used to transport visitors around KSC) and the stars on the flag are 6ft across. The Bicentennial Emblem was replaced by the NASA logo (affectionately known as the "meatball" in 1998. The logo on the VAB takes up 12,300 square feet.
• Steel: 89,421 metric tons (98,590 tons)

• Piling: 4,225 open-end steel pipe piles, 0.4 meters (16 inchs) in diameter were driven 49 meters (160 ft) into bedrock.
• Air Conditioning: 9,070 metric tons (10,000 tons), 125 ventilators.
• Lifting Devices: 71 cranes; two 227 metric ton (250 ton) bridge cranes.
