MS Moments 288 Lee Paul - Stennis Space Center - a podcast by USM Center for Oral History

In the early sixties, NASA decided to construct a rocket engine test facility in Hancock County.  

Lee Paul of Bay St. Louis was part of a team of engineers sent to test how the noise would affect the surrounding area. He recalls the massive horn they used and the community’s reaction to the tests. Paul also recounts how area wildlife inspired the names of some of the roads.
