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? GBC 01:52, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
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)
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:
+ 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)
Someone (coming from IP 80.219.134.104) has been POV-pushing the "moon landings were faked" conspiracy theory (and using incomprehensbly bad english to do so). I've tagged the section (created in its entirety by our conspiracy theorist), but, while my first reaction was simply to delete the whole section, it actually seems like there might be some useful tidbits mixed in with the paranoia and incoherence. Someone with more knowledge of the facilities at LRC than me might actually be able to turn the section into something useful. And it's possible that some of this conspiracy stuff deserves mention, albeit in a more neutral manner ("Some conspiracy theorists believe that the facilities at LRC were used to fake the moon landings", or something like that.) It is a fairly notable conspiracy theory, no matter how silly. (For the record, I'd like to point out that it was the Plymouth Rock landings that were faked! If you look at the photos from that era, they were clearly doctored!) :) The rest of the article should probably be checked too, as I'm not sure that 80.219.134.104's actions were entirely confined to the one section.

Man, that took a while. Hope this is better. Kjhf 10:55, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
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)
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)
Currently, second paragraph begins:
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)
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)

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. Sinusoidalsaud ( talk) 19:02, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
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?"
