NASA and Google have signed a memorandum of understanding to work together in the fields of supercomputing and technological convergence, according to a report published by ZDNet.
Google is best known for its popular Internet search services. The outcome of its joint venture with NASA could be the capability to search resources relating to the entire Solar System, the article said.
Since its founding, NASA has led the world in a wide variety of scientific endeavors. For quite some time, the ability of private enterprise to supplement NASA's work in developing and promoting aerospace ventures has seemed obvious to many futurists, but until now, a formal attempt on its part to integrate the public and popular spheres of technological achievement has not been widely publicized. The article says that both venturers that their joint enterprise will be of most benefit to the American public. If, as is possible, access to the resources afforded by NASA helps stimulate further interest in space exploration and scientific endeavor, then collaboration between the agency and Google may yield encouraging results indeed.
