What are the different classes of aviation airspace?
Airspace in the US is classified into the following categories: A, B, C, D, E, and G. The airspace is ordered from Class A-Tightest control to Class G-No control.
Class A airspace is anywhere from 18000 feet to flight lever 600 (approx. 60000 feet); all aircraft in class A airspace must fly IFR (instrument flight rules) and stay in contact with ATC. The required separation is also greater in class A airspace.
Class B airspace surrounds larger airports, and consists of 3 or more "shelves". Class B airspace looks somewhat like an upside down wedding cake. In Class B airspace, all aircraft require a specific clearance to enter or fly through the airspace.
Class C airspace Surrounds smaller airports, and looks like an upside down cake with only two layers. Aircraft entering class C airspace need only establish two way radio contact with ATC before entering.
Class D airspace has the same restrictions as class C, but has only one layer.
Class E airspace encompass everything from 1200 feet to 18000 feet that is not Class B, C, D, or, G. Sometimes the base elevation is lower or higher that 1200 feet, but 1200 is the normal base. Class E also encompasses everything above Flight Level 600. VFR (visual flight rules) aircraft are not required to contact ATC in class E airspace. IFR aircraft maintain ACT contact in class E.
Class G airspace is uncontrolled, and usually extends to anything below 1200 feet. Even IFR aircraft do not contact ATC in class G airspace.

How long did it take to make the Canadian Museum Of Civilization?
Many many years, in one sense they started in 1856 but work on the current building started in 1986 with serious design and planning , work started at the site in 1987 if memory serves me correct and completed in 1989/90. It had considerable media attention at the time.
It was a good example of the "overhead" or some would say corruption that comes with such projects. The completed building would have cost about $100 million if I or a private company had built it for themselves but the final cost was well over 3X that. Many questions were raised as the building was raised but all the investigations concluded that the extra costs were, to paraphrase the explanations, the costs of doing government business. That is very Canadian, from the construction of the transcontinental railway to all government projects today "extra" costs are considered normal, even Canadian.
And so it the Canadian Museum of History, well worth the visit.
