Divine Providence must have been looking when the Air
Corps brought Andrew Higgins Spruce Goose" proposition
back in 1912.

fore 1870.
If there hadn't been a Mich
oud plant in existence, NASA
would have had to build one,
or something very much like it.
This would have cost at least
$50 million at today's prices.
More Importantly in an effort
where time is more precious
than money. the factory would
have taken a couple Of years to
complete.

Orleans, is a vast building 1893
feet long and 1880 feet wide,
with uSable headroom of 40
feet. It's construction leaves
large floor areas clear, with
great distances between load
bearing columns. 1t is COM
pletely air conditioned and hu-
midity controlled. In short, it
is an ideal place to build big
rockets.
If a decision is made to 60
one step farther and build
"Nova"-a rocket capable of 60
ing to the moon in one jump
instead Of two-even Michoud
will be too small. But NASA Of
ficialS say they can build an
annex with even higher ceilings
to its bays.
French Family Name
The name Michoud-pro-
nounced "mee-Shoo" - comes
from the French family which
owned the land in Napoleon's
time. After the Spruce Goose
Joined the dodo in the catalog
OF extinct birds, Michoud went
into mothballs. The Govern
ment spent something like
three-quarters of a million dol
lars a year just maintaining
Michoud in standby status.
Came the Korean War and
the plant was reopened for
manufacture of tank engines.
BY coincidence, the contractor
who occupied Michoud then is
the same as the first of Mi
choud's three Space Age ten
ants: The Chrysler Corp.
Chrysler will construct Saturn
ST. vehicles like the one which
flew successfully in a maiden
launching at Cape Canaveral
(Fla.) in October.
Michoud's 40-foot ceiling was
worse than useless for tank en-
gine construction. so the Gov
ernment spent hundreds of
thousands Of dollars installing
steel work on which to hang
conveyor tracks. reducing the
effective headroom to 1872
feet. Last week, wreckers were
busy cutting down the con-
veyors preparatory to restoring
the 40-foot headroom.
After the Korean conflict,
Michoud went back into moth
balls. The Government tried
to find a buyer, but encountered
tremendous sales resistance,
based largely on Michoud's re-
mote location, Is miles out the
Chef Menteur highway from
downtown New Orleans.
Site q Logical One
The New Orleans port au-
thority became interested be-
cause Michoud was situated be-
side a first-class deep water
navigation canal but this deal
fell through and Michoud re-
verted to white elephant status
for seven or eight years.
Finally. this year, a site Sc
lection team went out from
NASA headquarters here and
from Wernher Won Braun's
Marshall Space Flight Center
at Huntsville, Ala, looking for
a big rocket factory location
About 25 cities were visited,
properties inspected and propo-
sitions heard. Michoud was
chosen.
The selection stands up as
not only a logical choice, but as
an almost inevitable one.
Rockets the size of Boeing's
S-l-b or even Chrysler's ST.
model Saturn are too large to
be transported overland and
too heavy to be lifted by air.

has been suggested, barges seem
