Heron&Fox PhotoA detail shot of the #NASA logo painted on the Vehicle Assembly Building. This version is commonly referred to as “The Meatball.” An alternative #logo NASA used for a few years, which was just “NASA” in a distinctive and flowing font, was called “The Worm” since it resembled an inchworm’s movement.
Fights over which logo is superior have ended in tragedy multiple times.
The Meatball on the VAB is 10 stories tall.

When #NASA’s #Space #Shuttles were being retired, the #Orbiters had to spend time waiting for an open Orbiter Processing Facility in the Vehicle Assembly Building (#VAB).
#Photographers were allowed to go up to a higher level in the building to allow them to get shots like this, with Atlantis’ starboard wing painted with its name and the US flag.
