Google Moonbase

In the unusual situation of an April Fools joke taking a step towards reality, Iread that Google has teamed up with NASA to co-operate in areas such as IT solutions, data management and nanotechnology. This includes such things as remote sensors – are they going to be doing a survey for the new base on the planned next trip to the moon in 2020 or just looking for the cheese?

    Google and NASA claim that both have the same interest – bringing information to people. Though possibly true, Google HAS to have something more in mind. It’s already trying to control free Wi-Fi access in San Francisco area. Why not expand further, and by further I mean Space. I posted a few write ups on my SEO blog. You might be interested in a few posts I write.
