Moved to a building down in South Houston area (Clear Lake) for the Shuttle program on Bay Area BLVD. Beautiful building. Had a helo pad on top and yes... gun turrets. I kid you not. I was there right after the transition from IBM to Lockheed-Martin. What an awesome time.

Nasa later pitched a fit about the cost of that glorious building and moved over to buildings in Nassau Bay. To be fair the IBM building was designed during the 80s DOD mandate for buildings that could be used in case of emergencies. So in effect, part of NASA's budget was being used to support to support "under the radar" stuff. Always keep that in mind when complaining about NASA's budget.

Here is a cool link about the software group for the Shuttle program. I'm waxing nostalgic today. They write the right stuff
