Just got this in a news list. For those of you upset by NASA demolishing the launch tower gantries at KSC, here is something new that you might can affect.

APOLLO PROGRAM LANDMARK; NASA RELICS LAND ON DEMOLITION LIST
HAMPTON -- The center is seeking public opinion on its slated destruction of a gantry and 5 wind tunnels. NASA Langley Research Center is seeking public comment about tentative plans to demolish its most visible landmark -- the 250-foot-high Apollo-era gantry -- as well as five wind tunnels. So far, NASA has received only four responses to a legal notice published in the Daily Press last month that mentioned the possible demolitions. NASA also mailed out notices to 16 local, state and national agencies, economic groups and elected officials. Included on the demolition list is the first research facility in the world to break the sound barrier -- the 8-Foot High Speed Tunnel. Also included are two facilities that have tested every American fighter jet developed in the past 50 years -- the 16-Foot Transonic Tunnel, which closes next week, and the 30-by-60-Foot Full Scale Tunnel, which is now operated by Old Dominion University. The gantry, formerly called the Lunar Landing Research Facility, is the only structure of its kind in the world. More than 20 Apollo astronauts practiced lunar landings and moon walking there, hanging from cables to simulate low gravity. Since the 1970s, NASA used the gantry to test the crash abilities of aircraft and spacecraft. The gantry and two of the wind tunnels on the demolition list are National Historic Landmarks. NASA hasn't made a final decision on the demolitions, none of which are imminent, said Marny Skora, NASA Langley spokeswoman. (Daily Press, Newport News, VA)

Without learning more about the topic, I don't advocate either way. But I thought some of you might be interested.

I don't know what they intend to build on those sites. New facilities? Better wind tunnels?

I don't know why they want to tear down the gantry. It doesn't appear they are using it for anything. I wonder how good of repair it's being kept in. They note it is a National Historic Landmark, so I presume they are keeping it in some sort of reasonable condition.

Anyway, here's your chance to have your say.
