[net.space] Request info on Wash DC Area

dcn@ihuxl.UUCP (Dave Newkirk) (04/17/84)

I will be visiting Washington D.C. this summer and I would like to visit
any interesting sites near this area.  I saw Goddard Spaceflight Center
on the map, and the city of Langley (but no little box for a NASA center).
I am also interested in the Patuxent Naval Air Test Center, but I don't
know if it's open to visitors or if there's anything to see there.
Any other suggestions?  Assume I already know about the obvious places
like the Air & Space Museum.

There's a good reason for the lack of a red box on Langley, Virginia.
Langley, VA is the home of the CIA, not Langley Research Center.

Langley Research Center is in Hampton, VA (near Norfolk and Newport News).
The Research Center is co-located with Langley Air Force Base, which is
easier to find on most maps.

Meanwhile back in DC:
NASA Headquarters are across the street from the National Air & Space Museum.
