This probably doesn't answer your question, but two points should be noted:

	1) NASA used to distribute (internally) a Mac Type One
		version of its "worm" logo for use in official
		documents.  This was a simple font that had the
		"worm" logo as one of its characters.  Unfortunately,
		when I saw it it wasn't to be distributed outside NASA
		at all.  However...

	2) Last summer the new administrator of NASA (Michael Golden?)
		reversed a 1970s design change and reinstated the old
		"blue meatball" (a circular seal design) as the official
		NASA logo.  The "worm" will disappear gradually as
		various pieces of NASA equipment are repainted, they
		run out of stationery, etc.

Now, does (2) mean that (1)'s condition no longer exists, and we poor
font hobbyists can get our hands on a copy of the worm logo?  Probably not...

To answer your question, there are some family similarities between
the commercial font family Bauhaus (available from Adobe, among others)
and the individual letters in the NASA "worm."  I have yet to see a share/
freeware version of Bauhaus, though.
