How is this?
The 125,000-acre acoustical buffer zone surrounding Stennis was established by NASA in the 1960s to enable testing of large engines and stages of the Saturn V rocket for the Apollo Program. Following the Apollo Program missions to the moon in the late 1960s and early 1970s, all of the main engines used on 135 space shuttle missions from 1981 to 2011 were tested at Stennis Space Center. The center is preparing to test RS-25 engines that will be used to power NASA’s new Space Launch System (SLS) vehicle, which will carry humans deeper into space than ever. Stennis will also perform a series of tests on the SLS core stage as well, which will involve firing four RS-25 engines simultaneously.Also I once bumpfired a barrett 50 cal rifle there.

The BZ was the place to be.
A cluster fire (five engines) for the Saturn was only done once, and it forcefully moved the last hold out inhabitants from the BZ. The first cluster firing of the RS-25s is slated for November. Hearing protection is advised even if not shooting.
No.its shut down.
Among other things Bam Bam......
Yeah, those were the good ol' days. We need to find a place to do that stuff all over again.
Do any more builds lately #1bambam
I used to have a bunch of pics hosted here from our shoots out there, but for some reason I no longer have a gallery or permission here.
