The Ames Research Center in California was one of the original research centers of the National Advisory Council on Aviation that NASA inherited when it was formed in 1958. Ames, located alongside Moffet Naval Air Station, researched aviation technologies tested at Edwards Air Force Base to the south. Today, while still advancing aerospace with its supersonic wind tunnel and super computer, Ames also is the lead NASA center for astrobiology and green technologies.
Our conversation in last night's Live Chat was with INSPIRE Project Specialist Jonas Dino. Jonas was formerly part of public affairs and often gave center briefings when his boss, David Morse, was unavailable. This happened last night, so Jonas steeped to the plate for the 37 attending the chat and gave a comprehensive review of ARC.
Jonas had two videos to share during the briefing, but we have found that varying Internet speeds prevent us from doing this live. So here are the two videos, which you can watch or download.

Next week, we conclude the 2010-2011 season of Live Chats when I will again present on NASA @the Movies. I hope you can come and join us: sign up now on the Discussion Board!
