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.

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."
