Hints, eh?

It's a testing facility...think about what kind of testing would go on a structure of this height. Also, it's a fairly prominent structure in its area....not much of similar height around it.

Uh, NASA zero G facility in, uh, Texas?

I can't imagine, NASA's main operations in Texas are in Houston, from the surrounding landscape that is definitely not Houston and I don't know why they would have a completely separate facility for that.

It's something in New Mexico I'd bet, but I don't know what or where.

NASA simulates zero G situations in water and on jet airplanes. How long would a drop in that tower last, about a second and a half?
As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me.
