Google NASA Partnership Announced

Posted by Hemos on from the word-hit-the-paper dept.

eldavojohn writes "Google & NASA announced their partnership today with many benefits. The director of a NASA site said '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.'" Update 23:51 by SM As pointed out by so many readers the GoogleNASA site originally linked was completely bogus.

  1. Hey, I recognize that CMS! by theGreater · · Score: 4, Interesting

    That's Dot Net Nuke, with an altered default blue theme. Good enough for Google, good enough for NASA, good enough for me.

    Hey, it's at least mildly ontopic, and it proves I actually FOLLOWED A LINK!

  2. Google Earth improvement? by tarlos25 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hopefully we'll get decently up-to-date satellite photos for Google Earth now. I'm tired of seeing my town as some vaguely greenish-brown blur.

    I was expecting an announcement about Hubble images. There must be millions of them by now, but there isn't a great way to access them. Sure, NASA announces a new image once in a while; they come out in dribs and drabs. It would be great to see Google's take on Hubble image accessibility.
