NASA does more than launch rockets. From the very beginning, aircraft and air safety have been major parts of NASA's mission -- and NASA Glenn has led the way. Join us on Saturday, March 21, to find out why airplanes and ice don't mix, why a healthy airplane is a safe airplane, and how NASA is helping keep even the best pilots error-free.
