   STENNIS SPACE CENTER - Talk to Stephen Brettel for a few minutes about hydrogen and how it could become the fuel of the future and you'll get the sense he feels he's on the ground floor of something big.
   
   And he could be right.
   ...
   Brettel, program manager for rocket propulsion tests at Stennis Space Center, is also director of program development for the NASA facility. He thinks Stennis could play a large role in the president's multibillion-dollar hydrogen fuel initiative.
   
   "We have more experience in the handling of hydrogen than any place in the world," said Brettel, noting that Stennis is an authority on the handling of the highly combustible fuel.
   ...
   Brettel said he was out in the test area one day and wondered how much hydrogen is vented during each test. He found it was 55,000 gallons. On top of that, every day just to maintain the cold lines, some 500 gallons boil off.
   
   That, he said, is what makes the facility a good option for playing a major role in the initiative.
   ...
   Brettel for weeks now has been making pitches and proposals to a host of potential partners.
   
   "If you can do it at a place like Stennis, develop the standards for safety, distribution," said Brettel, "we can roll that out into the economy."
