Private Tour at NASA!

We had one very exciting consequence of going to my high school reunion: getting a private tour by an old friend who is now the Director of Operations at Ames Research Center, one of NASA’s ten field installations. We were so honored that Deb set aside time to show us around. Here we are in her office in front of a photo of a replica of the Wright’s flyer in the wind tunnel.

As this center is usually closed to the public, this was indeed a very special tour. Deb drove us around in an electric car. It was great to hear her enthusiasm about the efforts at Ames to use green energy; she is especially excited about the new sustainable building that is about to open, but which we were unable to tour.
