larc-report-cover-09NASA Langley’s 2008 annual report, “Earth, Air & Space,” is available at larc-report-v8gf09.

The 32-page document covers Langley’s work in aeronautics, science, and space exploration with compelling photos and text — and special features such as “Arctic Adventure,” “Orion’s First Journey,” and “A Winning Team,” the tale of how we shared in the prestigious Collier Trophy.

Did you know we also helped Speedo with the design of the faster swimsuit used at the 2008 Summer Olympics? Or that our facilities and employees will be in a movie, “The Box,” starring Cameron Diaz?

A Daily Press editorial maintains that bad things have happened since NASA “turned itself inside out” in response to the President’s space exploration vision. Conditions need to change to allow Langley “to better tap into the opportunities offered by the space program,” the editorial asserts, and to “reinstate aeronautics and science as national priorities, with funding to match.”

obriensmall2CNN’s Miles O’Brien (seen here when he did a broadcast from Langley a few years ago) is leaving CNN, because the cable network is disbanding its science, space and technology unit. (See story here)

I watched CNN and FOX news over the weekend when Endeavour landed. There was no comparison between O’Brien’s expertise and the reporter on FOX.

The news viewing public will be considerably less informed without his presence.                                                  Kathy Barnstorff
