[sci.space] Status of Dryden Tours

shafer@skipper.dfrf.nasa.gov (Mary Shafer) (01/24/91)

In the past, I've posted about the public tour of NASA Dryden.

At this time, Edwards AFB, where we're located, is in security
condition Bravo.  This means that casual visitors, those not
personally known to someone on base and not on official visits, are
not allowed on base.  This means no public tours.

When security goes to a lower level and the tours return, I'll let
you know.

I assume that this is true at all military and federal locations that
normally have limited tourist access, so you may wish to check on the
Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB, Kennedy Space Center, etc,
before you plan an excursion around one of these.

I've gotten e-mail inquiring about the Shuttle landings.  I dunno.
I'm not sure anyone does.  As we get closer, I'll find out.

BTW, the next landing for which we are scheduled to have ramp visitors
(cookie badges for family and friends) is in May.

Not long after I find out something factual and definite, I'll post it.
