The Aldridge Commission’s US tour

The Dayton Daily News reports Wednesday that the next public hearing by the Aldridge Commission will take place in that Ohio town on March 3-4. Dayton, home of the Air Force Museum, was selected because it is a Midwestern city that can “reach a cross-section” of the US population, according to a spokeswoman. The article also provides the dates and locations of future public hearings by the commission:

Atlanta – March 24-25
San Francisco – April 15-16
New York – May 3-4

Other than the New York event, which will take place at the Hayden Planetarium, no specific locations for these hearings have been reported. It’s interesting that some locales with close ties to NASA—Houston, Huntsville, and Florida’s Space Coast—are not on the itinerary. The schedule of events is not yet up on the commission’s web site.

    Atlanta is the closest significant airport hub to Huntsville. It’s only about a 3.5 hour drive, or a 25 minute flight.

    Based on the jokes from the initial public meeting, I’m sure the commission’s personal calendars played a big role in selecting venues.
