Aerojet Dade Rocket Facility

The Aerojet Dade Rocket Facility was a facility built in the 1960s during the space race to develop a rocket engine to propel humans to the moon. The Air Force gave Aerojet General a few million dollars to work on the solid fuel rocket, and the company conducted up to three tests that could be seen as far away as Miami. However, NASA ultimately decided to use liquid fuel rockets instead, and the facility was abandoned.
