NASA / Google: It’s Not What You Think

They want you to believe it’s to establish a “relationship to work together on a variety of challenging technical problems ranging from large-scale data management and massively distributed computing, to human-computer interfaces.”  

This could cover “Real-time weather visualization and forecasting, high-resolution 3-D maps of the moon and Mars, real-time tracking of the International Space Station and the space shuttle”.

“Yes, two of the biggest names in geekery have joined forces to give the gift of virtual space exploration to the masses” says Gizmodo.

No, no, and no.  They all are missing the point: it’s all about building the next Google Campus on the Mars. smile_shades
