By the time that original program that justified the need of the facility was canceled NASA had already made a substantial investment of time and money building it. Only time can tell if this facility will help with future engine development or not. I don't have any expertise in Space & Aeronautics, but I'd love to hear from anyone in the industry what they think about the completion of this facility.
