The Moffett Field Restoration Advisory Board met last Thursday in the 
midst of a whirlwind of discussions about development at Moffett, 
including the 213-acre NASA Research Park and the possible announcement 
in December about the future of Hangar One.

But nothing sparked more intense discussion than the Army's "Mitigated 
Finding of No Significant Impact" — a report on Orion Park, just outside
