I was in that Vehicle Assembly Building way back in the '60s, before the first moon landing. It is an awesome experience, because it encloses more space than any other building in the world and gives you such a feeling of vastness. It was said at the time to be larger enough to handle five Saturns at a time (meaning the moon-launch missiles of the time), but only one was inside when I was there. And BTW "hi-dee" is the way some folks say "howdy" on occasion.

Is it true that the thing is so big that clouds have been known to form near the ceiling?

I lived in Cocoa Beach then - just a lazy little 2 road town...during the "Original Seven" the Mercury team.

Family has been in the space program from the get go - son there today, works on Shuttle Program.

Back when you were talking about, the VAB was so big, clouds would form inside and rain! They have fixed that little annoyance...
