NASA is normally concerned with blasting rockets to space, but at the weekend it focused on blasting a former administrative headquarters to smithereens.
NASA is normally concerned with blasting rockets to space, but on Saturday it focused on blasting a former administrative headquarters to smithereens.
The space agency demolished Building 4200 at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, about 130 miles northwest of Atlanta.
The YouTube channel for the Marshall Space Flight Center livestreamed the demolition in which multiple controlled explosions razed the structure in a matter of seconds.
Building 4200 acted as the Marshall Space Flight Center’s administrative headquarters from 1963 until 2020.
Clearing the old building out of the way creates space for a series of new, state-of-the-art facilities from where NASA will plan missions well into the future.
