Google and Nasa to Partner

[Brett_Tabke]

A story released today is to detail a broad new partnership between Google and Nasa:
[washingtonpost.com...]

Vise wrote that one of Google's newest deals is a "far-reaching, complex partnership with NASA, unlike any agreement between a private firm and the space agency, to share data and resources and employees and identify ways to create new products and conduct searches together in space. Although NASA is a public entity, many of the details of the partnership remain hidden from public view."

[washingtonpost.com...]

This is not necc new, because back in SEPT, Google published a Google-Nasa Memo of Understanding:

"While our joint efforts will benefit both organizations, the real winner will be the American public."

A new revenue source for Google - the American taxpayer!

Discovery will bear the legend "sponsored by google" at the next launch ..and the moon will begin to display adsense during April thru September 2006 ..

Mercury will be deemed no longer relevant during googles next crawl and be removed from the solar system ;)

The asteroid belt will be penalised for meteor spamming .;)

Leosghost-

We as Earthlings should concentrate on getting some more relevant links. If we lose the third spot from the sun, it's going to get mighty cold.

[jimbeetle]

Looks like we're one step closer to Sergey's and Larry's Space Elevator [google.com].

[Leosghost]

Wasn't that Arthur C Clarke's idea originally ..way back before the google twins were born ..

[texasville]

Is there another older more relative earth out there? Could we get banned as dup content?

[steve40]

A new spammer will emerge and make identical content as earth on a small asteroid but have more paid for links and never use the word earth in description and will come up as number 1 for all earth related queries

texasville, Mars but they have since been 302d and no longer exist.

"tracing online searches to individual Internet users and storing them indefinitely...saving Gmails forever on its own servers, making them a tempting target for law enforcement abuse "

Bye bye Gmail for me. When I delete something, I want it deleted.

Bye bye Gmail for me. When I delete something, I want it deleted.

I'm sure we went through that argument before ..:)I was more vocal than most against gmail..but realistically ..if you dont want to leave a trace dont use your ISP use telepathy and burn your hard drive everytime you shut down your machine and add your ram and motherboard to the fire ..
and never use the phone or write letters ..

there is always a trace ..somewhere ..and they are growing ..

>> if you dont want to leave a trace dont use your ISP use telepathy and burn your hard drive everytime you shut down your machine and add your ram and motherboard to the fire ..

there a huge difference between leaving a trace for a day, two days, 30 days, a year and forever. Am I missing something?

[Leosghost]

yep ..

All of the puns and quips above are really cute, guys. Very humorous, but I believe a sense of humor sometimes is all I have to revert to in my ignorance!

I am feeling very ignorant at the moment, so someone please explain? Maybe with old age, my capacity for imagination has gone missing or something, but I thought the space race took place back in the JFK days, when I was a kid.

Please explain to me what there is for Google to search for in outer space? I just don't get it...

[Leosghost]

cws3di ..this is not related to my previous posts but specifically to your question ..
firstly extrapolate ."trustrank" .or "cred" .using as items in the equation "hi tech" ..and "nasa" and "american" and "patriotic" ..and regard your answers with "old marketing guy spectacles" ....somewhat simplified as an approach ..but you get the general idea ..

secondly ..so what if the space race was theoretically run years ago ..google is looking for new unique content ..where does one find such stuff in the "edge" sciences ..hence the interest in them and the money and sister deals ..and doubtless "first rights on the stories"..

(nasa being independant open source sort of geeks dont like MS ..so )

scenario ..in a few years from now ..survey of joe or jane citizen ..

Q..where did you hear it first?
A ..Google!
Q..who do ya trust to be first with the truth?

slick I gotta admire ..wont buy in ..but gotta admire the adversaries style ..

simplified ..enormously ..et alors!

the space elevator is Arthur C Clarke's baby. How in heaven's name did the G twosome get credited with that?

I suspect Al Gore was involved. :-)

[Leosghost]

esllou ..Arthur was gonna run it from Sri Lanka ..the googly boyz probably think if they can say it will start from California they can claim the idea as theirs ..

with enough money on the table NASA may not argue ..

a little missinformation is a powerfull thing depending on the winds that fan the flames ..
