PROGRAM
Megan Person (chief of news and legislative affairs) flew in to chat with us about the NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, whose mission it is “to separate the real from the imagined and to make known the overlooked and the unexpected.” Specifically, the center conducts NASA’s high-risk, atmospheric flight research and test projects. It’s where the world witnessed the first supersonic flight (1947) and hit Mach 3, 4 and 5 (1956 and 1961), and where the first space shuttle landed (1981). NASA employes 66,200 people in California alone. Currently, the center is focused on exploring the unknown of Mars.
Here are a few fascinating factoids she shared:
Mach record is 9.6; fastest manned aircraft is Mach 6.72.
Thank NASA for electronic power steering, eye surgery glass, and alltrails.com maps.
It typically takes 10-15 years for NASA developments to be available to the public.
Elbows bruise when pilots hit G-Force speeds.
Person swears NASA is not spying on us.
The X-59 aircraft developed at Armstrong travels 925 mph and makes no sonic boom sound.
About 98% of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) reported sightings are explainable. “There are some that we can’t explain,” she said.
Space is boiling hot, hence the need for space suits, not cold as some might imagine.
NASA patents are available to U.S. industries only.
