Please, please, please don't 're-skin' the hanger or, if Google does re-skin it, please make it a clear skin. It is a work of art just the way it is.

I am so happy. Thank you Google and NASA. I have the very fondest memories of riding with my Mom to meet my Dad who was a test pilot at Moffett in 1948. It was the most exciting day when we would get to walk into the hangar to meet him.

Yes it is a work of art as is, but the metal will deteriorate if not covered with "skin".

Before moving hundreds or thousands of employees to their new offices sitting on top of a decades old EPA super fund site Web Link polluted with plenty of things Web Link , but mostly Trichloroethylene from the early days of the Silicon Valley chip manufacturing, are they planning to clean it up? NASA does not want to clean it up.

The Moffett Field Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) meets 20 November at the Mountain View Senior Center on Escuela at 7:00 - 9:00 PM. This is a government directed group that is cleaning up the base and includes the EPA, Navy, NASA and local city participants. Lenny Siegel is a member who has been championing Hanger 1 and is a newly elected Mountain View City Counsel member. I am sure that this particular meeting will be very interesting since it is the next step as to how everyone proceeds and a celebration as to what has been accomplished. Many people have been working this issue so all are to be commended.

I hope this is not a flash of the shinny objects and deception to the taxpayers. After all the lease is less than $19.4 million a year, chump change for Google who will no doubt sub-lease what they can.
Some Facts.
Hanger One is one of the world's largest freestanding structures, covering 8 acres!
Length is 1,133 feet (345 m) long and 308 feet (94 m) wide.
The Eiffel Tower is also one of the world's largest freestanding structures, 7,300 tones iron in the structure.
Height 1,063 feet.
Both are examples of extraordinary engineering.
