Best answer. It is a launch complex, on Cape Canaveral. Complex #40, if I recall correctly.

I was looking in our archive for one of the complexes for shuttle launches, but this is all I had readily available.

Next one coming up...

Shuttle lauch pads and stuff

ooh ooh ooh! jackal? JACKAL?! It's a Jackal!

Arecibo right?

MtHowitzer · 2005-11-02 12:23 pm

Dish in ???. I know it's some South American Country but I can't remember which. Brazil?

I know it was featured in the Bond film and I think it also played a role in Contact w/ Jodi Foster.

Here's the best I could find with Gmaps:

I've always wanted to live in a South American country. Now I do. wink

Mine was 112 Ocean Avenue, Amittyville, NY.

It is spooooky.

longboy · 2005-11-02 1:47 pm

I missed yours earlier, Moses. The Amityville Horror house?

Moses · 2005-11-02 1:53 pm

Yeah, it is kind of obscure I guess, but it beats a particle accelerator.

Ooops! I'll just go hide under this rock over here!

Guess I should have researched it a bit. I could have sworn it was Way Down Yonder. O-Well. Today's not a total loss at least I learned something.

Blimp housing like these at Ames Research Center? Funny coincidence because I was going to post that one next.

Nope.
From what I recall, there is only one blimp in there.

Huge hint: There is also at least one stealth fighter, an Apollo capsule, and a plane with Harrison Ford on it. wink

Well, then it must be an air/space museum housed in old blimp hangers: apparently this one at Wright-Patterson AFB.

Groom Lake AKA Area 51?

D'Eyncourt · 2005-11-03 5:06 am

How about this?

It's not a very good picture since you can only see the center portion in this particular Google Map, and you cannot zoom in too much because of the scale limits.

longboy · 2005-11-03 10:58 am

Moses' pic is definitely Area 51. I'll dig up a big picture of it, it's pretty cool to look at.

longboy · 2005-11-03 11:02 am

All right, here's my Area 51 image, but it's ginormous: 1MB

You wouldn't believe how hard they make it to find that place. But also, look at the top of the white house. You would think it wouldn't be so obvious.

Short Circuit · 2005-11-03 11:20 am

That's not the VLA is it? I was trying to find it but was unable to locate it.

MtHowitzer · 2005-11-03 12:09 pm

longboy I don't know how you get anything done. I'd sit and look at pictures all day. Some of our pics are really cool and great quality.
