[i]Northrop Grumman Corp. officials would like to inspect [URL=http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum41/HTML/000122.html]Plant 5 in Bethpage[/URL], where the lunar landing modules that took astronauts to the moon 40 years ago was built by the old Grumman Corp., to see whether it could be used for an anniversary celebration in July of that historic event. But there's one problem: Angelina Jolie is at work in Plant 5. No, she's not building spacecraft. The actress and a crew are using the old Plant 5 to film "Salt," a spy flick. "We wanted to see if we could do anything with the old building" to help mark the anniversary of the moon landing July 20, 1969, Dianne Baumert-Moyik, a Northrop Grumman spokeswoman, said last week. "But we didn't want to interrupt the filming." ...the situation has created something of a quandary for Northrop Grumman, the Los Angeles-based aerospace and defense company that maintains a major facility in Bethpage. The company no longer owns Plant 5, having sold it to Nassau County, which in turn sold it to an East Setauket-based developer, who has named the building Lunar Module Park Llc. So the company can't exactly barge in.[/i]
