Feds select Google to lease Hangar One, Moffett airfield

Preservationists can rejoice -- Hangar One's restoration appears imminent. Google has won a lease deal for the massive hangar and operation of Moffett Field's runways.

NASA and the General Services Administration announced today, Feb. 10, that Google's Planetary Ventures, LLC has been selected for a long-term lease of Hangar One and the Moffett Airfield. The subsidiary of Google has already partnered with NASA in the past, and is now set to build a 1.1 million-square-foot campus on aanother portion of Moffett soon.

The Google subsidiary proposes to use Hangar One for the "research, testing, assembly, and development" of emerging technologies related to space, aviation, rovers and robotics, according to GSA's Jackeline Stewart."

I dunno, sounds a little scarey to me.
