NASA Explodes a BIG Building - Proves Scientific Principle & Looks Cool ! - Mobile Format #nasa

NASA Blew Up 2 old test facilities. In the process, they prove a scientific principle. NASA posted video of the explosion & demolition of two large older buildings. The video showed an interesting scientific principle: Light travels faster than Sound. You see the explosion and then a split second later, you hear it. That will seem strange to most people because in movies and news, the sound happens at the same time as the image. But NASA, being correct, only posted the actual video as it happened. I did it both ways. NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama · On Jan. 10, two test stands at NASA Marshall – the Propulsion and Structural Test Facility and the Dynamic Test Facility – were removed by carefully coordinated implosions.

NASA is preparing for the demolition of three iconic structures at the agency’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Crews began demolition in mid-December at the Neutral Buoyancy Simulator, a facility built in the late 1960s that once enabled NASA astronauts and researchers to experience near-weightlessness. The facility was also used to conduct underwater testing of space hardware and practice runs for servicing the Hubble Space Telescope. The simulator was closed in 1997. The demolition of these historic structures is part of a larger project that began in spring 2022, targeting several inactive structures no longer needed for the agency’s missions. All three towering fixtures played crucial roles in getting humans to the Moon, into low-Earth orbit, and beyond. Built in 1964, the Dynamic Test Stand initially was used to test fully assembled Saturn V rockets. In 1978, engineers integrated all space shuttle elements for the first time, including the orbiter, external fuel tank, and solid rocket boosters. It was last used in the early 2000s for microgravity testing. The Propulsion and Structural Test Facility – better known at Marshall as the “T-tower” due to its unique shape – was built in 1957 by the U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Agency and transferred to NASA when Marshall was founded in 1960. There, engineers tested components of the Saturn launch vehicles, the Army’s Redstone Rocket, and shuttle solid rocket boosters. It was last used for space shuttle solid rocket motor tests in the 1990s. “Each one of these structures helped NASA make history,” said Rae Ann Meyer, acting center director at Marshall. “While it is hard to let them go, they’ve earned their retirement. The people who built and managed these facilities and empowered our mission of space exploration are the most important part of their legacy.” “These structures are not safe,” continued Meyer. “Strategic demolition is a necessary step in shaping the future of NASA’s mission to explore, innovate, and inspire. By removing these structures that we have not used in decades, we are saving money on upkeep of facilities we can’t use. We also are making these areas safe to use for future NASA exploration endeavors and investments.” These structures have reached the end of their safe, operational life, and their removal has been long-planned as part of a broader effort to modernize Marshall’s footprint. This demolition is the first phase of an initiative that will ultimately remove 25 outdated structures, reduce maintenance burdens, and position Marshall to take full advantage of a guaranteed NASA center infrastructure investment authorized under the Working Families Tax Credit Act. = = = = = = = = = Links: https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-faci...   / nasamarshallcenter     / 810042598718788   https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-faci... https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-faci...    / nasamarshalltv      • NASA Marshall Removes Two Historic Test St...   = = = = = = = = = You can see some of my photos of the area through this link: https://travelswithphil.com/verybigph... - - - - Photo Credits: My Own NASA - - - - Video Credits: My Own NASA - - - - You can subscribe to my YouTube Channel at this link ----- https://www.youtube.com/user/cherokee...
