NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, removed two of its historic test stands - the Propulsion and Structural Test Facility and the Dynamic Test Facility - with carefully coordinated implosions on Jan. 10, 2026. The demolition of these historic structures is part of a larger project at Marshall that began in spring 2022, targeting several inactive structures and building a dynamic, interconnected campus ready for the next era of space exploration.
