eMail from Goddard Space Center

I just got an email from the NASA-Goddar Space Flight Center saying that they are building a mockup of the Space Shuttle Flight Deck, and they were wondering if I could help them out with dimensions! How cool is that!!!! And they said it was nicely done!! **beaming**
