NASA brings over a lot of guys from the contractor side to a FT position if they do well.

I remember we used to be able to hear the tests all the way in Covington. We go on the porch when they were supposed go happen.

In the 60s, during a Saturn V F1 engine test a inversion layer caused windows to be broken in Long Beach/ Gulfport.

"The record for the loudest test ever conducted at Stennis still belongs to the Saturn V rocket’s first-stage, which featured five engines capable of generating 7.5 million pounds of thrust and powered NASA’s Apollo program to the moon. That test rang in at 204 decibles

Ya, I went out the shop when you said it started. I guess the area has built up enough to mask it.

I blame Slidell.

Lets start a TD AMA. Ok, I'll start - Where the aliens at?

Btw you have an awesome job!

Dont know what a CFD is, but the facilities contract for Stennis and Michoud is with Syncom Space Services.

They need to tell you these things!

Good batch of guys just did this recently, 3 to be exact. You wouldn't be one of them would you? Haha
