Proceedings of the Board of Regents Meeting held on September 18, 1989

Houston, we have a problem. Or at least we did in September 1989, when the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum was in desperate need of an extension. In this report, Smithsonian’s Board of Regents discussed the challenges facing the museum, including the need for more space, an accessible location for objects too-large for the road, and to remedy the poor conditions of storage areas. But where should this site be? Near Dulles Airport or Baltimore Washington International? On the 50th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 launch, join a group of volunpeers in making the history of the museum, home to many artifacts from the mission, more accessible.
