The Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), where shuttles are assembled on mobile launcher platforms, which then roll the shuttles out to the launch pads. Volume-wise, the VAB is supposedly the largest building in the world. We were told that the Statue of Liberty could easily fit through each of the building's side doors (one of which is partially open in this photo). This building can be seen from miles away, which isn't too surprising when you consider how flat Florida is!
