KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - The American flag on the side of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center is newly painted. The flag was damaged in the hurricanes of 2004 that assaulted the east coast of Florida. Winds pulled a number of panels from the side of the 525-foot-high building. The flag is 209 feet by 110 feet. Each star is more than six feet in diameter and each stripe is nine feet wide. The flag sits more than 450 feet above the ground.
