Wow, crazy to see these pics. My dad worked at the SSC, managing the magnet manufacturing facility. I remember touring some of these buildings, and seeing some of the magnets. I still have a SSC mug at home. :)
In the end, I think it may just have been too much of an oxymoron to pair the words "Waxahachie, TX" and "world-class research facility", it's just not something most of America was ready to embrace.
It's too bad though, we really lost a great opportunity to build something great in the middle of Texas. It would have changed everything there, that's for sure.
