Built in 1969 to test nuclear-powered spacecraft, the Space Power Facility is the world's largest vacuum chamber. The rotund structure measures 100 feet in diameter and towers at 122 feet high.

The Discovery Channel's Mythbusters TV show plans to film an episode at NASA Plum Brook Station, hoping to smash the myth that men didn't actually walk on the Moon.
The crew is expected to film the segment in December, using the vacuum chamber at the Space Power Facility, said Jerry Carek, Space Power Facility Manager.
