NASA and Google are Going to Space
A new partnership has been created between NASA and Google. Not much information at the moment, but it is believed to involve Google Earth, or maybe Google Space?
From the Press Release:
“Our planned partnership presents an enormous range of potential benefits to the space program,” said NASA Ames Center Director G. Scott Hubbard. “Just a few examples are new sensors and materials from collaborations on bio-info-nano convergence, improved analysis of engineering problems, as well as Earth, life and space science discoveries from supercomputing and data mining, and bringing entrepreneurs into the space program. While our joint efforts will benefit both organizations, the real winner will be the American public,” he added.
And on the Google side:
“Google and NASA share a common desire-to bring a universe of information to people around the world,” said Eric Schmidt, Google chief executive officer. “Imagine having a wide selection of images from the Apollo space mission at your fingertips whenever you want it. That’s just one small example of how this collaboration could help broaden technology’s role in making the world a better place.”
Unlike the GoogleEarth.com and all of it’s different variations (.net, .org, .info, .us, etc) which are all registered to Google, GoogleSpace.com has been registered by someone else, and all other variations are still available.
