I have a letter of recommendation from NASA. I've had it just in a folder. Should I frame it and display it on the wall of my office? Would you? It that something an NT would do?

How important a letter is it? NASA in my mind is a very amazing important organization, but as I'm not NT, I don't know how normal it would be to frame it, although even if it isn't, I would anyway. Congratulations. What will happen now due to your recommendation? _________________ "The natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest.

I would file it in a plastic sleeve for future job searches.

Exactly, I have never displayed awards, but I have realized people are impressed by stuff like that.

I would keep it in a safe place. If it was a diploma or something, then you can frame it. _________________ If it doesn't make sense, it's probably a Team Fortress 2 reference. http://failofcompleteepicness.blogspot.com/ http://self-fulfilling-destiny.tumblr.com/

I'd put it on display.

Depends on the office unwritten rules. Some want you to frame and display all awards as it makes the office appear more important for the employer; while others want a more subdued look, showing only diplomas and licenses. If this is a private office, i would noy display it as it is more an ego thing.
