The gift shop was set up in such a way that it looked like you were walking into another museum, at least, thats my thought. We walked over to their "Gift Shop" which overlooked "Hangar One," originally a US Navy airship hangar (blimps or air ships as they were called), here at Moffett Field. The museum only took us about an hour to tour but my son obtained the information he came for. Im thinking, this is it? NASA, the huge conglomerate is settling for this? The outside looked small but once you entered the "building" its quite large inside with some impressive exhibits on NASAs space exploration. NASA, the space agency is a huge organization which has been responsible for all the space missions in this country so it came as a surprise when we were directed to this "white canopy" type of tent, which was as large as a warehouse out in the middle of this parking lot. ![]() Moffett Field used to be a thriving military base but "thanks our governments 1991 reorganization" which included base closures, NAS Moffett Field was closed!" So my son was doing a school project on space and one of the requirements was to visit the "NASAs Ames Research Center in Moffett Field" to obtain further information on space exploration. ![]()
