"At NASA Langley, we continually seek answers to questions for some of
the toughest challenges facing NASA and the nation.
What if we can improve
life on Earth by studying the air we breathe? What if we can make air travel faster and
more accessible to connect with family, friends, and colleagues? What if space travel
could be safer by using the sun's energy?
These are just a few of the
questions we are answering to reveal the unknown for the benefit of
humankind."

A highlight from the year was welcoming 40,000
neighbors to our Open House, where we were able to share the wonder and magic of NASA
