NASA Inspector General Paul Martin today released a report that examines the $32.8 million re-siding project for Hangar One – one of the world’s largest freestanding structures – at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, California. Hangar One, built in the 1930s to house the naval airship the USS Macon, covers approximately 8 acres and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. NASA acquired the hangar in 1994 as a result of the base realignment and closure process that involved Moffett Field, a Navy base adjoining Ames. More
