Circa 1998, finishing touches are painted on the American flag that embellishes the southwest side of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The flag spans an area 209 feet by 110 feet, or about 23, 437 square feet. Each stripe is 9 feet wide and each star is 6 feet in diameter. The logo adorning the opposite side, which is known as the "meatball," measures 110 feet by 132 feet, or about 12,300 square feet. The building stands 525-feet tall.
