Three speakers at an airfield discuss safety protocols for a 12,000-foot runway built for supersonic and space aircraft. The runway length matches shuttle landing facilities, and the team is warned to stay clear of the hot end during startup and photography.
You know, the big thing here, really long runway. That's what I was going to ask you.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, that's what you want, right?
For all intents and purposes, stay away from that end. Okay, stay away from the front. Let's just stay on this side here.
Is that the hot end?
Um, right now I can do— we can do a quick walk around if you want to get some shots. Yeah, yeah. And then when they get into startup procedure, then we'll just stay on this side. Okay, okay.
Do you know how long the runway is?
12,000? Yeah, yeah, extended 12,000. 12,000 feet. Around the same as Ashlee Vance, the shuttle landing facility.
Right.
