The ground breaking ceremony for Goddard Space Flight Center's new Exploration Sciences Building was held Monday, July 16, 2007. When occupied in 2010, it will replace GSFC's decrepit Building 2, which includes my office. The ceremony (top photo) featured several NASA officials, including the Director of GSFC and the Deputy Administrator of NASA, and local dignitaries, such as the Majority Whip of the US House of Representatives, whose district includes GSFC, and the mayor of Greenbelt. After a few short speeches, it was shovels in the ground (photo). A reception (bottom photo) at GSFC's Visitors' Center followed, and the Director of GFSC's Sciences and Exploration Directorate entertained us (photo) with "Science on a Sphere", a new exhibit that uses four synchronized projectors to display animated data on a 6-foot white sphere suspended from the ceiling.
