These great hollow globes of artificial super-metals, and artificial transparent adamant, ranged in size from the earliest and smallest structures, which were no bigger than a very small asteroid, to spheres considerably larger than the Earth. (Olaf Stapledon, STAR MAKER)

LADEE
A couple of items relating to the LADEE vehicle, now on its way to the Moon. Here's a picture of LADEE being placed in fairing of the nose-cone of the Minotaur VI launch vehicle. And here's a shot of the integrated launch vehicle and probe on the launch pad at Wallops Island. Finally, before being launched, or even placed in the fairing, the orbiter had to undergo a number of tests of systems and structure including the "spin test"!
