One hundred years ago, March 3rd 2015, the US Congress created the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, the predecessor organisation of NASA. Every allied aircraft has been tested in some form or another at NASA Langley. NASA has created a few websites to celebrate,
NACA 100th Celebration and more NASA Langley specific.
It is certainly an exciting time to be a part of the organization. Over the next month there will be multiple events at NASA and within the community to celebrate!
I should also like to mention how fitting it is, that I had the opportunity to work today (and yesterday and tomorrow) at NASA Langley (site of the original NASA/NACA center), and examined one of the most difficult problems in modern physics – turbulence. That is really an honor and quite amazing! Certainly a life worth living.
