   When I was in high school our family went to Orlando / Disney World /   
   Kennedy Space Center for a Christmas holiday one year. It was after   
   Apollo 17 but before Skylab. There was a bit of a lull at the Cape and   
   during that time, visitors to KSC got a tour inside the VAB. Something   
   they stopped doing once shuttle got going because of stacking SRB   
   segments inside. So that was amazing. The vertical height of the   
   building and the Florida humidity would combine to cause misting and   
   even a very light drizzle INSIDE the VAB I remember being told as cooler   
   air inside condensed water in the warmer air brought in from the   
   outside. An amazing experience.
