NASA building so large, it has its own weather.
The Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center is so large that rain clouds form inside it:
VAB, for short, was used from 1968 to 2011 to build and store American space vehicles. By volume it is one of the largest buildings in the world, at 3,664,883 cubic meters. Additionally, it is the largest single story building in the world, and until 1974 was the tallest building in Florida. Today, it is the tallest building in the US outside of urbanized cities like New York and Cincinnati. The VAB completed its construction in 1966 and was first used to build the Saturn V rocket for the Apollo program. After that it was used for housing Space Shuttle fuel tanks and other flight hardware, and served as a place where Space Shuttle orbiters were attached to rocket boosters. At 526 feet tall, 716 feet long, and 518 feet wide, it covers 8 acres of land. At such a size, on very humid days the building has its own weather, with rain clouds forming below the ceiling. The building has a moisture reduction system to mitigate this problem, though. What’s odd is that the building is made to withstand hurricanes and tropical storms, but weather still appears inside it. http://www.blog.hankplumley.com/wp-c...t-May-2012.jpg |

Conversation between a mom and a now 26 year old son...
mom - "For real, your father didn't REALLY LET you jump out the second story window into the pool, did he?????" son - "yes, why do you keep asking me that?" mom - "Because I can't believe Mr. Safety let you jump out of a second story window into the pool." son - "Well first he caught me, then he figured we'd been doing it and nothing happened, so he let us keep doing it." mom - "He LET your friend do it TOO!?" Sooo, if Ms. Novelafemme would so slide off the roof into a doughboy pool...and my kid is still alive, I suppose I should let this one go??? :seeingstars: |

This reminds me of a story my oldest wrote when she was 5 titled, Why I Love Whores. Only, she meant it to say Why I Love HORSES! Reason 1: Because I love to brush their long, flowing hair. Reason 2: Because I can ride them forever and they don't get tired. Reason 3: Because they look shiny when they're wet. :| |
