Less floor area than the Booeing building, but I used to hear 
that the VAB had the largest enclosed volume of any building 
in the world.  They aren't kidding: it can rain inside that 
building.  Do go see it Mike.  When I went there last I marvelled
at the force that would bear on the wall from a strong wind.  
At the same time the structure itself is awe inspiring.  I
love any good competition, so here it goes: the height of 
technology vs the fury of nature.  Wooohoooo, may the best
one win!  {8-]  spike

ps Im betting on the building in this case.
