Center Postcard
Whys is the flag on the side of the kennedy space center the opposite way round?
I noticed in a postcard and got quite curious.
I mean why is the stars on the other side of the flag? As if you looking at it from the other side.
You mean the flag at the side of th Vertical Assembly Building (VAB?) It is not upside down, but oriented vertical. In heraldic, you rotate the symbols by 90° not the whole image: Horizontal stripes become vertical stripes, but the stars are still at the same corner. How the flag should be displayed is in the US Flag Code:

The Kennedy Space Center is the whole civilian complex on Merritt Island - with many US flags.

The complete white region is KSC. Not the biggest launch complex on the world that is still Baikonur, but huge enough.
