OK let's try an easy one

 

[LarryBoy]

Delicate arch?

 

[Rockskipper]

Fat Tire Arch?

 

[regehr]

It's a not-natural area of Utah that you cannot easy visit anymore.

 

[Rockskipper]

Is it something lke the Bingham Canyon Mine?

 

[regehr]

Got it! you are up @Rockskipper

 

[Rockskipper]

Since we're doing unnatural areas, where's this?

 

[Perry]

Thiokol in Howell Utah

 

[Rockskipper]

@Perry you're up.

I drove by there a couple of years ago coming down from Idaho. It was a complete surprise to me to see rockets and all the other stuff out in the middle of nowhere. I had to stop to figure out what it was. I knew Thiokol was around somewhere, but didn't know where.

FWIW, I think it's called ATK now.

 

[Perry]

Name the peak.

Well, it *was* .... Looks like it was last called Orbital ATK and was purchased by Northrop Grumman just this year.

See, I heard it was purchased by Whamity-Blamity Rocket FunCorp, GmbH. That's just internet speculation, though.

Well! I read that on wikipedia so I'm absolutely positive its correct LOL

 

[Rockskipper]

Elon Musk just tweeted that he's buying it for 420/share.

 

[Rockskipper]

Reminds me just a little of Mt. Nebo North.

Nah. I do see the similarity though.

 

[Rockskipper]

Is it in a similar part of Utah?

 

[Perry]

Similar? Well yes, in the same range. Is that similar?

Looks like maybe Timpish

BTW I watched an SLS booster test up at ATK/Thiokol/whatever a few years ago, it was pretty amazing
