I see my constant Year in Aviation updates are paying off,

Downtown Jackson, 1960-ish. That's Capital Street you're looking up there. Plenty of business now, but by the end of the decade the death spiral would have begun. Jackson suffered badly during Federally Enforced Integration, and would never recover. I could write tons, but it doesn't matter anymore.

Blame the democrats, it's all their fault after all. Civil War and everything.

Away from the floundering...

October 25, 1961: NASA announces national rocket test site in Hancock County

It's a great tour, if you're ever there. Home to some of the loudest sounds ever created on planet earth. That's a picture of a shuttle engine test. When I was there, they were testing an aerospike motor. Quite the show.

At Stennis I've spent some time on that test stand, and at the bottom of the locks, too
