Google Signs A 40 Year Lease With NASA
In a show of just how tight the Google and NASA releationship has become, Google announced today the lease of 44.2 acres for a office complex that will be built on a NASA's federal government research center. The 1.2 million-square-foot campus announced Wednesday fulfills a vision that Google first laid out with the NASA Ames Research Center in 2005.
With the release of Google Earth, Google Moon and Google Mars who knows what could be on the horizon for these two giant innovators. If you think about it NASA has a ton of data and they need efficient ways to organize it. Google's mission to organize the world's information fits it perfectly with this bold project.

If you think about it NASA has a ton of data and they need efficient ways to organize it. Google's mission to organize the world's information fits it perfectly with this bold project. Here is what NASA and Google had to say...
"With this new campus, we will establish a new era of expanded collaboration with Google that will further enhance our Silicon Valley connections," said Ames Director S. Pete Worden. "This major expansion of NASA Research Park supports NASA's mission to lead the nation in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research."
"This long-term lease agreement is a key component of Google's strategy for continued growth in Silicon Valley," said David Radcliffe, Google's vice president of real estate and workplace services. "We believe this collaboration between Google, NASA and the city of Mountain View is emblematic of the mutually beneficial partnerships that can be created between the public and private sectors."

Google yesterday unveiled that they would be opening up Google TV Ads to most Adwords customers.

More competition = lower prices for the purchaser, and isn't that what everyone wants?
I can only imagine we are just a step away from more real local ads on cable and satellite, instead of the barrage of car and drug company commercials that really don't do much good. After all, I already have a car and feel in tip top shape. Google has created the ability to target ads locally so well, that any small business should be able to advertise only in a small target location, therefore costing less, and not waisting ad dollars.
Google has already given their Adwords users the ability to advertise on the radio, but television is a giant leap. Plus, we are now more than every seeing the transition to computers and television working together for example TIVO and Youtube new partnership. The convergence is well overdue...
