Talk:Michoud Assembly Facility

message: The article said, "for the past thirty years...since September 5, 1973" The phrase "for the past thirty years" is clearly 7 years out of date, and each year grows one more year out of date. I rewrote the sentence to remove this problem. Nick Beeson (talk) 17:19, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

message: :File:S-IC-D hurricane damage at Michoud.ogv shows hurricane damage from Hurricane Betsy in 1965.  It might be interesting.  I have not included it today because there is lots more good video of Michoud in the Saturn V Quarterly Film Report series, of which I have several episodes. Perhaps I can string some clips together.  -- ke4roh (talk) 03:21, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I cannot find any NASA page supporting the idea that NASA renamed its Michoud Assembly Facility to Chris A. Hadfield Rocket Factory. The sources cited are the Canadian Encyclopedia, which does not have any references for that fact; and a Flickr page, which says it only in the caption.
There is a Facebook page for the so-called Hadfield Rocket Factory, but it is not run by NASA.
Google Maps' Street View of the same location (see https://goo.gl/maps/8skGoumMMpZjKbc28) shows it is still named Michoud.
The Chris Hadfield wiki page also claims the MAF was renamed for him, but cites the same two non-NASA references.
Searching the internet, I was unable to find any NASA page that mentions a 'Hadfield Rocket Factory'. There are some pages that show entrance signs for NASA Marshall Spaceflight Center renamed for Chris Hadfield.
And in common-sense terms, the United States' NASA would not be naming anything after a Canadian, no matter how nice the guy is.
Therefore, the Chris Hadfield Rocket Factory appears to be a prank.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.127.176.33 (talk) 21:03, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Concur with these assessments, coming from the Office of Strategic Communications on-site. This facility was never called that, and remains Michoud Assembly Facility, as it has for decades under NASA. 198.120.15.117 (talk) 20:27, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Chris Hadfield Rocket Factory" does not exist 

message: Hey all, I appreciate all the cleanup that's been going on in this article. I've been reviewing some of the edits made by the banned user. To avoid a conflict of interest on my part, rather than editing directly, I wanted to open a dialog about the inaccuracies and wording in this section. Many of these claims have dead links and no citations. The following inaccuracies should be corrected or removed:
- Building 1, 2, 3... is how the user was organizing their thoughts, and not a numbering/naming system used on site.
- There is only one Vertical Assembly Building (VAB); the shorter high bay is known as the "Vertical Welding Center" (VWC). 
- Retail stores, gym, media lab, and medical area are not contained in the factory (103)
- Other described functions are part of 101 and 102, not 103.
- 320 is not 3-20, and contains no dormitories nor a restaurant, but rather offices and sustainment support elements (including some attributed to 103).
- Unclear what "building 4" is referring to, as no building is dedicated to those functions.
- "The plaza" does not exist, and there is no "test simulator" located in this area. Testing generally occurs at Stennis, whereas Michoud is focused on fabrication and assembly.
- The NSF Center was irreparably damaged in a tornado and was demolished. I believe the storm was in early 2017 - need to double check the exact dates of each.
