One of the test stands at the Stennis Test Site formerly known as the Mississippi Test Site. Aerial view of Stennis.
At the top are pictures of engine/stage testing. Every stage and engine is thoroughly tested for our space programs. I wish that I could show everyone a video of our stage (the S-IC) being test fired in the 1960s.
This video is so dramatic it is hard to believe. I am going to work on that and hope to have something posted soon.
