Answer: NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center
According to CNET’s list of the biggest buildings in the world, NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center comes in at No. 7. The building is 525 feet tall and 518 feet wide, spanning eight acres. “The structure was completed in 1966 for the assembly of the Apollo/Saturn V moon rocket, the largest rocket made by humans,” a release by the space agency reads. “The building was constructed 3.5 miles from Launch Pad 39A and 4.2 miles from Launch Pad 39B. A pair of crawler-transporters, some of the largest machines ever to move on land, were used to carry the completed rockets to the pad.”
