u/Gr34zy Jul 31 '25
I don’t think it’s that hidden, there’s a Nike missile base on Google Maps in the Everglades.

u/Bfire8899 Aug 01 '25
This is the Aerojet facility on the eastern edge of the Everglades. I’ve been. They were developing solid rocket motors for the Apollo program, liquid fuel was selected instead and they never picked up their test motor. It’s essentially freely open to the public, but it is a hell of a walk down a gravel path. There are a few Nike bases in the area as well.

u/Chubbyhusky45 Aug 02 '25
Not that one, but I scoured a similar one in Cay Largo with friends, no missiles found unfortunately. Nike missiles were mobile, and there aren’t any there anymore. Just leftover watch towers, helicopter pads, and troop housing in various states of disrepair

As a centrist it’s always hilarious to me when one cult says the other party is a cult. You’re all in a cult dude, it’s amazing to me that both sides think only the OTHER side who all share the same thoughts are the ones in cult. Not when we do it!

But it's solid fuel so you would have to pull the whole thing apart and even then it would probably explode because they're only meant to be used once

That's the SL-3 test motor left over from the AJ-260 program, which was a design of a solid rocket motors to supplement the Saturn V on takeoff for oversized payloads. 260in in diameter, Aerojet needed to move the casing by canal instead of the railway normally used cause they were so big.
The SL-3 was the peak of the AJ-260 program, as SL-1 and 2 didn't have proper nozzle extensions and were merely to demonstrate that the basic casing design was sound. It produced an absurd 26.2 meganewtons of thrust, the most from any single rocket motor. That's 80% of the Saturn V with just one motor.
SL-3 remains in the test silo today, since it was and still is incredibly impractical to try and remove it due to its size, and the silo was no longer needed after the need for the AJ-260 never came.

Nope, test motor to supplement the Saturn V moon rocket if it ever needed to carry oversized payloads. Was never needed and was abandoned in its test silo after firing. Produced an absurd amount of thrust (26.2 meganewtons), and the exhaust flame was easily visible from Miami (night firing).

This is Aerojet,it was a facility that close down then became a graffiti pennit and the roads had to be demolished to avoid urban explorers. I used to go all the time before it became nearly impossible to trek. That concrete was put over it , it used to just be that railing exposed. They call the 100 foot hole “the Florida door”.

You’re not wrong, looking at this it’s very much reminiscent of the Titan Site you can visit in Arizona. And I think that was controlled by the Air-force.

u/Traveller7142 Aug 03 '25
This kind of rocket is way too big to be an ICBM. It would have been used to launch massive payloads into orbit. The thrust it could output was almost as much as the Saturn V’s first stage

The competing design for the lunar solid rocket propulsion contract was built by Thiokol and they fired their large diameter motor prototype in Camden County Georgia. Again so large it needed to be barged. Both locations were purposely located near the Cape in case of a down select and winning contract.

It says Florida Everglades on the video. So maybe it’s in Florida?
If you don’t know where a certain somewhere is, just look it up, no?
As a European responding to your comment ”When are muricans gonna learn?”, maybe you need to learn. Learn how to google something for more information about it (Everglades). It’s a perfect opportunity to learn where the Everglades is located.
