Stars & Stripes II

In theory, the American Flag was to have another star and stripe for each new state, but this proved impractical.  The design reverted to thirteen stripes in 1818, with only an additional star representing each new state.  The fiftieth star was added in 1969, after Hawaii joined the union, completing the flag we know today, the Stars & Stripes...
Can you imagine how immense the flag would look with 50 stars and 50 stripes?  I think they made a wise decision back in 1818.
