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.

    GoogleNASA Announces Dissassembly of Mercury and Venus

    GoogleNASA's strategic alliance with FungibleNano has pushed their disassembly of the "useless" innerplanets into a computronium cloud. The "Massively Massive Massive 4D Quantuum Processor Fog" will reportedly use 10 years of spam filtered from gmail users to train an AI to solve large N-Body problems and appreciate fine wine.

    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!

    Yes, a search company teaming up with an agency that's always losing things! Maybe now they can find that Mars lander, those Moon photos, and what exactly Neil Armstrong said...

    I noticed that too. Seems someone posted the url for a year old announcement instead of the current one http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2006/dec/HQ_06371_ Ames_Google.html

    You misread. It is ISS 6.0. However, it is still in beta. Google corporate culture taking over already.

  10. PHISHING ATTEMPT, TAKE THAT DAMN LINK DOWN by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative

    GoogleNasa is NOT an official Google site, and is just phishing for Google account information. What the fuck, Slashdot - do you EVER look at these links? Such incompetence...

      Hi, sorry for the confusion, I am Chris C. Kemp, Director of Business Development at NASA Ames Research Center. I originally created the site as a "neutral ground" for NASA employees and Google employees to collaborate (we're trying to experiment with new ways of doing business). I paid for and set the site up myself which is why it is listed under my name to minimize the "bureaucracy" We were not ready to release/announce the site, and after getting slashdotted, Google requested that we take the site down, which I did.
