NASA Seeking Innovative Ideas from Public
Mike Peel writes "Science Blog is reporting that NASA is seeking proposals 'for creating and managing innovative activities, events, products, services, or other types of formal or informal education methods for the purpose of disseminating information nationally about NASA's projects and programs.'" Sadly I don't think simply providing them with a list of people you want shot into space counts.
It means they want a webmaster.
Note to mods: I'm probably being sarcastic.
"In exchange for a collaborator's investment to creatively distribute NASA information, the agency will consider negotiating brand placement, limited exclusivity and other opportunities as part of a strategic collaboration."
Does this mean we're gonna see big "Drink Coke!" advertisments next time we look through a telescope at the ISS? That would be some impressive brand placement...

I'll never give up my tin-foil hat design!!!
Someone from NASA needs to post a question for Ask Slashdot to get some innovative ideas. I'm sure some of those ideas will be quite colorful.
Make our lifes worthwhile. Disclose the information you keep about UFO-s, aliens and the alien technologies you've reversed engineed, you sneaky bastards.
And if all of that is just the product of some paranoid conspiracy theorists, oh well, just make it up and lie to us.
We'll love it.
They should build one of those website thingys. They can put lots of descriptions of what they are doing on it and pictures even. I hear it costs next to nothing to let people download pictures, video, text, and all sorts of stuff.
With all those scientists working for them, I am sure that they can find a way to use ARPA NET to do this.
Why not contact the Jim Henson corporation to see about having Kermit and Gonzo teach a couple of classes to the new guys?
They could cover complex scientific concepts like "Near and Far", "Toward and Away", and maybe even "Counting to 10 in Metric".
Couldn't hurt...
Well, if several years of reading sci-fi novels and watching sci-fi movies has taught me anything, YOU DON'T LET ROBOTS BECOME SELF-SUSTAINING! Cuz once they are, they get all kinds of crazy ideas about saving humanity from itself and decide to rule us for our own protection. Or, sometimes you'll get robots that have a persecution complex and decides that humanity needs to be obliterated because we are "imperfect," and thus a threat to their orderly existence.
Nope, if we let robots build colonies on Mars, it'll only be a short time until humanity is either subjegated, or annihilated.

Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.

It would be nice to see NASA expand there business.

Their next hit is in Mars, therefore all these tasks for manned flights.
You are SO right. Does anybody else just picture a shuttle trip to Mars as basically like a road-trip with some of your friends....and you bring as much crap as you can so you're all basically stuffed into the van.....and there's that guy who fidgets the whole time next to you driving you nuts?
And I mean, I hope those guys have video games to bring along. Must have shitty pings though.

OOH! OOH! Let's, like, send a rocket to the SUN!

i'd say they need to hire some new I.T. staff
