Google Acquires Strategic Stake in NASA
The NY Times has just announced that Google has acquired a strategic stake in NASA. Described as a "partnership of equals", the move sees Google paying $1.3 million a year to NASA.

Additionally, it was confirmed that all future NASA missions will be powered by Google Sky, Google Moon, and others. NASA's JPL will be tranformed into a real-time PageRank calculation datacenter.
