Talk:Langley Research Center

message: is it in any way pertinent for this article that the Avro Arrow's test model was brought here in 1956 to determine why it became unstable around Mach 2.4?

message: I've added a photo of the 14 x 22ft. Subsonic Wind Tunnel.  It's kind of in a precarious position currently, but IMHO it's the best looking location.  It should be moved to a lower location once this page is expanded. Axda0002 18:26, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Subsonic wind tunnel 

message: I Added a couple more facts about various machinery research taking place at the center. I learned most of it on a tour I took of the place last year, (If you work there, i give you props man, that place is amazing in the fields of fabrication and development) had a couple other, but internet crashed. Here are the others I will try to place on the page:
*Long-Range Sensory Apparattus, 'R2D2' Droid
*Laser Etching
*Ultrasonic Water-Jet Cutter
+ Quite a few more repairs will be made to the structure of the additional information
If you want to finish it yourself, here's a helpful site - another website for the article
And if your not pleased with it, I would be happy to return it to normal. Wongizzle06 20:29, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Completely Reworded 

message: apparently it's a superfund site.  Maybe that should be mentioned.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.60.130.141 (talk) 02:03, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  superfund site mention 

message: If you notice on wiki pages for other research centers and national labs, for example Los Alamos National Lab, they have the number of employees clearly listed in the info box on the top right portion of the page. Does anyone know how about many employees are at NASA Langley? I can't find it on the web, so may the responder please cite her source as well. Mmpozulp (talk) 22:10, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Number of Employees 

message: Currently, second paragraph begins:
: Early in 1943 the center expanded to include rocket research, leading to the establishment of a flight station at Wallops Island, Virginia. A further expansion of the research program permitted Langley Research Center to orbit payloads.
An editor noted the confusion of that second statement relative to the 1943 date which preceded it. 
The first successful orbital launch from Wallops (then, still under Langley) was 16 February of 1961 with the Explorer 9 on a Scout rocket.--cregil (talk) 11:29, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  History 

message: Are these machines what we now refer to as 3d-printers? This section should be clarified and cleaned up to simply note that LaRC has a number of these machines on site, rather than the romanticist dream of how low cost manufacturing enables the artist to create his or her "masterpieces."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.9.133.125 (talk) 15:18, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

message: The West Area Computers are not mentioned in the history section of this article. Currently, the history section has a positive bias due to the omission of this now well-known connection to segregation and discrimination at Langley. I will add a single sentence about it, although there could be an entire subsection dedicated to it.

thread_title:  No Mention of West Area Computers in History Section 

message: The article refers to a larger wind tunnel built at NASA Ames in the 1940s, but as the linked article does not cover that facility's history and NASA itself did not exist until 1958, would it be more appropriate to list it as "NACA's Ames Research Center?"
